Default Headlights come up and turn on when I start the car...

I need some help. When I start my 1999 Trans Am the headlights turn on. I have the switch off and I cant get them to turn off until I turn the car off. It doesnt matter what time of day. There is no grinding so I dont think it is related to a stripped motor gear. Has anyone else run accross this problem in the past that can help me figure out what is going on? It just started doing this yesterday. When the car is off I can opeerate the headlights normally without any problems. Im stuck...

Well I just went out to run errands and it seems to have fixed itself.

Check your battery terminals. Clean them up, and you should have no more problems. How old is your battery?
