Default Headlight goes down and back up on passenger side

I read a lot about this problem trying to get mine fixed. What I found was the wires on the passenger side Headlight was getting cought in the crank arm by the Headlight motor and causing a bind.it would make the light think it was cycling and come back up. I checked the wires and roughted them through the inner body hole and plugged Evey thing back in and it works perfectly now.it didn't cost anything to fix,and I think it corrected a ground problem. I hope this will help someone out.
