Installed the new control module yesterday. Guess what? I can see your a$$ at night now. LOL! Everything is working great!

You should make a new post and it sounds like it's your gear very common. Your module is under the passenger side headlight. You have to take the black shroud off to see it. It's held on by 2 10 mm bolts. I really doubt that's it. Gear is about 40 bucks or so and easy fix. Do a search

Thanks...
Sorry, new to navigating this forum. It seems you covered everything. I already bought the control module. Haven't had time to put it in yet. It does seem the gear on that side is bad but I didn't think that would cause the headlight to go up and down like that. It seemed more electrical to my mind. I'll do the gear first. I was going to buy a set of gears anyway before I bring it to Germany. I'm sure parts are hard to come by over there, so I'll just keep the module for me or anyone in the club over there. Thanks for the input. It is priceless for what chevy dealers charge to work on the thing for.. rediculous. My Doctor went to the wrong school. ; )

Stop tabs
I can promise you that is your issue is the stop tab is chewed up. There are 2 of them on the driver side. You can use the other temporally until you get a replacement. Also more then likely is when you did the gear swap the adhesive did not make a good seal causing it to come loose again and rattling around causing the issue. I suggest you follow that TSB. Let me know if I'm way off on this thanks

I had the same issue a month or so ago, I replaced the headlight motor and the problem has been solved. Fairly inexpensive and easy fix.
i searched and found tons of headlight threads, but none specific to this issue. i installed HIDs a couple of months ago and everything has been fine up until about 2 weeks ago. whenever i shut the lights off, both headlights go down, then the driver's side one comes back up about an inch and a half. i usually just pop the hood and manually make it go back down, but it's getting really annoying.
i really don't think it has anything to do with the HIDs since they were fine for a few weeks. also when i turn them back on, the light will go back down before it goes up. it's like the motor stops shortly after it's supposed to
