If you turn the **** on top of the motor that actuates the headlights, you can get the light to manually roll to the "lights on" position, but that's only a one time fix since the lights retract back when you turn them off.

Not sure if this has already been covered, if so please direct me to the right place? Thanks!

Yes this is less than ideal but it's better than opening the hood and screwing the motor every time. Just a temporary solution until you can fix it properly.

It could be the gears in the assembly as well, but I would start with the pellets. It is probably a good idea to replace them on both sides, as the DS is probably close to failing as well. There are plenty of threads about the process of replacing all the parts on the forum.

On the other hand I met a guy that used to work at the Van Nuys plant and MAKE the headlights, he says if one is not going up(connectors are clean)
just twist the **** 1/8th turn to move it a hair. Works for me.
