Headlight Motor question
Tonight I go to see a movie with the girl, come out, start the car, turn on the lights and only the driver side headlight pops up...anyone ever had one light stick and the other come up? Im guessing my motor needs to be replaced, but not sure.

As others have indicated it is probably the gear in the motor. The brass gears are the best option. In the mean time, others have had luck opening it up and rotating the gear 180 degrees since it operates on half the diameter to work the lights. You can also find replacement gears and motors from Mid America as well as other catalogue sites.
