All C5 headlights are the same.

Please describe what you installed and we may be able to help you out.

I had the exact same issue AFTER I installed my HID bulbs.
This is a normal function of the car. The car wants to tell you that a light(s) is burnt out.
I had to install a resistor pack to fool the car into thinking that I had regular bulbs in there.
My lights would flip up... but NOT come back down.

The old lights you removed..... were they HID ?
Is there a resistor pack in-line from an old HID setup ?
Are your new bulbs HID ?
