Try it again with only the parking lights on, This will tell you if it's
parking or headlights.
You may have a short between the ignition and light circuit.
White wire, ignition circuit
Red wire, parking lights
Blue wire (white stripe = high, red stripe = low beams)
Check under the dash as the key and light switch are close
Or the headlamp switch itself may have a terminal touching a ground
causing a major short draining all the juice.
I saw this on my 67 in the wiper switch.
