sounds like either a short up front, or a possible failure in the turn signal switch assembly.

Check your wiring for insulation damage or pinched wires up around the headlight.-Jordan-

Sounds to me that you have power feeding the high beam and drive lights at the same time or the dip relay is stuck. In other words a hot (battery voltage) wire is feeding current to the lights. Trace the wire harness from the head lights and drive lights and see what they have in common,IE harness, relay, switches, ect, ect. Inspect the damaged area carefully. A test light, ohm meter, and wire diagram are helpful.

You have the wrong bulb,9007/9004 look the same but are not, you need the 9004.
