I had the same problem about 6 months ago - headlights would light, but would not open. The problem was intermittent. Turns out that when I was cleaning the G-102 ground pack (see HERE), I inadvertently loosened the pin that grounded the headlight door control module. After disassembly and bending the pins back so that they would fit tightly, I have not had any issues. Maybe the connection is corroded or loose? If not, I've read that another cause could be the HDCM.

I had to replace the headlight door control module, located under the passenger side headlight.
