Wiring.. what did I screw up?!

    So... when I hit the brakes the headlight comes on, even with the ignition set to lights off, if it’s set to high beam the high beam comes on.
    What could I have screwed up here? 
    2 weeks back I installed twin lights, high beam wire to upper light, low beam to lower, both grounded to the forks.

    I haven’t noticed it before but I DID just wash the bike.

    maybe if you wait till it all dries out ,then see if the fault is still there,if so then the fun begins.does your light switch wiring run next to you front brake harness?

    Run a separate ground wire to yhe battery of frame, not the forks as you will micro weld your steering head bearings. It takes time but does end up killing them.
    As to the fault, not sure, would have to trace it out.
