Question Headlight problem after charging dead battery

After using a 200 amp battery charger to start my 2002 S, I noticed that the blue hightbeam indicator stays on and I have no highbeams or driving lights anymore. Any ideas?

No, I definately didn't hook them up backwards.

Actually, I now think the high beams are stuck on, instead of the other way around. It's like the relay is stuck in the highbeam position and working the stalk has no effect. I don't hear the "click" anymore. That would explain why the driving lights don't work. They are normally disabled when the high beams are on.

I now think that the relay may have arced the contacts and maybe stuck. Does anyone know how to identify the relay for the high beams?
