headlights pop up when parking only selected.

Well this problem has gradually just gotten worst now. One day out of the middle of nowhere, my headlights start popping up when i only hit the parking light button. Also at the same time now, when i turn the lights off, The motors go down and keep spinning for 5 seconds after they are down. this never happend until the parking light problem. The motors still go up and down great though. Well a month later, and now it is constantly blowing out the tails fuse. So i figured it was the headlight switch. So I went ahead and replaced it and no difference. So does anyone have any ideas? Could it be something messing up inside of the headlight relay? Oh yeah, when the lights pop up in parking mode, the bulbs are not on, just the lights pop up.

ok, i did some tracing today and found out that the problem is the headlight module. I swapped one out of my dads bird into it and everything works great. So now that i know the problem. Where can i find a replacement? I checked autozone, advance, and gmpartdirect website. Anyone else know of somewhere else to buy it from or am i going to have to get it from a dealer?
