Weird Headlight issue havent seen before
So it started with the normal drivers side headlight wouldn't pop up, no big deal, flick the switch twice it would usually go. All of a sudden it works fine now, EXCEPT if i flick from off to just parking/fogs the headlights pop up (and yes i know they stay up if you go from full up to parking), and when I drop them the drivers side makes this grinding noise after it closes for a good 10 seconds it gets progressively slower and stops. Any ideas?????

You've got a stripped headlight motor gear
Look in the sticky for Leaftye's write up and run down to Headlight Problems. It describes the fix.
