Default headlight problems...........

sometimes when I park on a steep hill, my passenger side headlight won't raise.........I have to get out and manually raise it a little, then get back in my car and it comes up........embarrassing..........

seems like it going to far down, but you can't tell it from the top cover......

Anyone had this problem?

Your gear may be getting worn out. If you hear it continue to run after the light has gone down then you know for sure. It is a pretty siple fix but i suggest not buying a plastic replacement gear.
