HELP! Both headlights won't go down!
I had the headlights on earlier, and when I got home and turned them off, neither of the headlights went down to their closed position! I checked the #3 and #4 fuses which should be the hdlight motor fuses, and they are both fine. Is there an additional relay/circuit breaker somewhere that controls both of the headlights?
Please help me!
*edit* I will add that all lights work like they are suppose to (i.e. turns, drls, low beams, hi beams, hazards, etc.) the headlights just simply won't close when you turn them off. No buzzing, clicking, or any other noise like a motor is semi-working. And I just can't imagine BOTH headlight motors to stop working at the exact same time.

Mine are that way all the time.
When you turn them off pull the light stick back as to flash your head lights, That is what does it to mine and they go down.
I also have HID bulbs and something with differnt bulbs causes this minor problem

This is really frustrating. Is there a relay somewhere that controls both headlight motors?

Have you tried to manually close them by using the ****? This would ensure that you don't have a dual gear failure. If both headlight gears failed up, then you will not be able to manually turn them down, in this case you would have to push them while turning.
If you can manually close them, then your gears are okay and the problem is electrical.
