You need new headlight bushings. If you're pretty handy it's not that hard to do. For the meantime stand outside of the car and turn the head lights on then run up to the light that want come up and push it up by hand and it should hold. You can also raise the light manually by raising the hood and spinning the **** on top of the head light motor. Your old bushings will look like dust.
