This might sound a bit daft, but have you checked that the parking lights are off?

At least, if they are off we know where to start looking.

Yeah, it needs the battery and fusebox covers in place.
 
And those headlight switches are quite often playing up. The contacts can burn out on the back.

had same problem on one of mine, pulled my hair out for quite a while, switch, strip / re build both fuse boxes, dash, ect, finally noticed they went off when the ash tray was moved, the illumination wire terminal had broken off & was resting on the power to the fag lighter. the most simple things.
