2007 Hatchback Headlights won't turn off draining battery

We have a 2007 Yaris Hatchback - the headlights will not turn off and they are draining the battery. I replaced the alternator yesterday because we thought that was the cause of the draining battery - that alternator was not charging the battery. The car would run when jumped, but the dash lights, radio, and power steering would cut in and out. The original alternator did test as bad/dead, so we installed the new one. It was after that we noticed the headlights were ON. When I went to turn them off, they were already in the off position. When I turned the switch to the "On" position, the lights switched like normal, but when I turn it back to "Off" it's as if I was turning them "On"!

A little more insight, this car was in a minor accident and we have recently replaced both headlight assemblies and all of the bulbs. We checked all of the wires and plugs and only had to repair one. All lights (high beam, low beam, turn signals, etc) seem to be working properly, except for staying ON as described above.

Looking for any insight on what might be causing this. Thank you in advance!
