OK - so  I pulled into the garage tonight and tried to turn off the
headlights and  the switch was stuck in the on position.

(Thank goodness that the dash  covers comes off so easy.)

I pulled off the dash cover and grabbed the  headlight switch from the rear
to unplug it...ouch...HOT, HOT,  HOT.

I know some people have done the relay thing to increase  headlight
brightness...but anyone seen this  before?

This is the MAIN reason for installing headlamp  relays.  The higher wattage
bulbs that can then be used are a side  benefit.  See my _Vanagon Headlamp
Relay  Upgrade_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hdltrela.htm)  webpage for more
details.
