Check your over voltage protection (OVP) relay and your alternator. Too much voltage is getting to the lights. I would do this as soon as possible before other electronics in the car are damaged.

I hope I am not insulting, but if you need direction as to where the alternator is located, I would recommend taking the car to either a mechanic or dealership. Diagnosis and repair will be beyond your abilities.
