obvious first things are:-

 

what have you changed recently? many faults comeback to something I have wired up which seemed correct at the time in the cold light of day but when the lights are switched on or the electric heated rear window is switched on suddenly starts doing funny things!!

 

something shorted around the ignition switch, headlight switch, any smells of burning? or seen any smoke recently which you could'nt trace at the time?

 

Where are the relays for your headlights, have they got water in them, corroded contacts etc etc

I notice that it's got a relay loom. Some bulbs can weld the relay contacts so even when the ignition is off, headlight switch off, the battery is still switched through. Tap the relay loom relays to free but it will occur again.
