Perhaps your truck is from Canada?

If so, you have daytime driving lights. There's a module under your power panel box/ABS crap (inner fender) thats black in color.
Pull the plug out of it, and your issues should end. Don't worry your lights will still work. The DLR supplies voltage to your front lamps when you drive during the day.

just replaced the headlight switch on the dash looks like i will be running wires trying to figure it out. high beam indicator still work turn off. i guess while i was gone my wife replaced my lights and the light wiggled out and melted the head light casing so i need to replace that i am thinking about some bright lights just beacuse it tends to be dark all but 6 hours out of the day.
