yuh, well tonite, i turn off my headlights and notice that my right one goes down AFTER my left one has gone completely down. i was like whuuuuut.... so then i turn my lights on and off again, and it happens AGAIN. i repeat the process a couple more times and then they both go down like normal.. now the thing is instead of making the normal whirr sound, i hear a squeek.

is there anywhere i need to lubricate in them? what is going wrong? any way to fix? i don't wanna drive around with my lights up all the time.

I had the same problem, i accidentally left some wire around that area and it got jammed. Make sure you don't have anything jamming it up.

Check you headlight and see if the metal frame that holds the headlight is ok.
Mine got loose and it got smashed when I turned the headlight off.

there is nothing there jamming anything!

i mean it goes down all the way. has got no problems popping up. just doesn't go down when it should. it goes down when the left is all the way down most of the time.

usually it goes down at the same time.

man this is pissing me off. i kno its a little thing and all, but i don't need my car falling apart on me!!!!
