Headlight issue
I was driving at night (which is rare in my car) and noticed that when I turned the switch for the lights to flip, they didn't. What I noticed is that they lit up, but did not flip. However, when I returned it back, and tried again, they flipped up correctly. I repeated the attempt and noticed in each of the five trials that I must switch the lights on twice for them to flip. Has anyone experienced this problem, and if so, what is the remedy?

I had a similar problem where only one light would pop up but the light would come on. End up being a bad ground behind the the headlight on the frame rail.
It also could be that your headlight module is getting ready to crap out, it is located in the front passenger side attached to the wheel housing just under the passenger side headlight. Maybe you have a bad connection there.

The usual failure is the headlamp switch itself. However, the headlamp controller actually raises and lowers the headlamps. Make its connectors (two) are clean, dry and securely plugged in. Its mounted on the frame rail behind the passenger side headlamp. Past that, pull and clean the contacts inside of the headlamp switch itself.
