Yeah it sounds normal. The high beam light stays on but has even before there problem started. It gets brights when I click on the high beamd but they don't change. Low beams still stay on.
What... did you do to put a LED in the headlight switch? (I didn't think that there was a bulb in the thing. Maybe mine is burned out?)
A wiring issue at that switch could cause all of these problems.

Yes I did change a bulb in there. Mine was burnt out also lol. The only thing that makes me thinks it has nothing to do with that switch is because I can unplug it and turn on the car and the automatic headlights come on but just running lights. No actual headlights, even with that switch unplugged. Thanks for all the help btw!

The DRL module (which also controls the automatic headlights) gets power from the fusible link under the hood through the headlight switch. It is not dependent on the switch being functional but it is dependent on the switch being plugged in. Power comes in on the red wire at pin J and is passed back out through the red wire at pin G to the DRL module. That's why you would have no headlights with the switch unplugged.
