Yr & model? Sounds like a stuck relay. If you have a panel below the driver outside open it and find all the relays that are about 1&1/2 inch square and proabably black. Use the back of a screwdriver to give them a tap or better yet just pull them out one by one.

My guess is that your switch gave out. Can you reach under the dash to find it and jiggle it or look for a loose wire? You could find the fuse and pull it to shut off lights.
Defective , day time running light module ; If equipped.
No fuse in the headlamp circuit, most times a self re-setting circuit breaker, internal to the headlamp switch. DOT doesn't want you have the headlights go out completely in the event of a short they flash on and off to allow you to see and come to a stop. You feel like you just watched a Charley Chaplin movie. Don't ask how I know this.

Here are two things that might help. Ours is an '06 Dynasty, and much of the design is similar. See if any of it fits your coach. On ours, the headlight relays and breakers are on board #8, in the front run box. The lower left relay is the high beam relay, and the bottom middle one is the low beam relay. The two devices on the left side of the board are the headlight breakers.
I am attaching a photo of board #8, and a copy of a schematic that I made for the head, tail, run and dash lights on our rig. I don't guarantee its accuracy, but I am positive that it is more accurate than the headlight drawings from Monaco, since they are "typical", and don't reflect many of the model to model and year to year changes.
I, too, am having trouble with my headlights sticking on. Skip426 may be right, too, about it being in the "Canadian Headlight Module" that is mounted on the top of the front run box. I don't know if all of our vintage coaches have that, but they may, and it is the module that provides the daytime headlight function.
Good luck! These problems can be incredibly frustrating to resolve.
This looks like our box as well but it appears breakers are not designed to be pulled individually. For now we have disconnected from battery so we won't get knocks on the door in the middle of the night telling us our lights are on. :-) Guess our next stop will be service.

Take a look at the schematic that I posted, earlier, along with the picture of board #8. The attached picture will show you where the headlight control breaker is located, in the upper left corner of the back wall of the front run box. Assuming it is the low beam lights that are staying on, the only two control devices in that string as shown on my schematic, are the "Canadian Headlight Module", and the Smartwheel controller. Both of those are in the front run box. If you separate the cable plug marked M27, you will be able to determine if the Canadian module is your problem. If you separate the cable plug marked M41, you will be able to determine if the Smartwheel controller is your problem. If it is neither of those, the only thing remaining, other than a damaged wire somewhere, would be relay K2 on board #8, which is the relay just under the clearance lights fuse.
Try pulling those two connectors, one at a time, and if your lights don't go off on one or the other, try tapping fairly solidly on K2, with the handle of a screwdriver, or something.
