Default Head light help

when i go to turn off my head lights the motor that folds them back down flush will close them just fine but its like the motor just keeps running for about 5 or so seconds and you can hear this loud clicking like the motor is trying to do something it cant. Does anyone know about this issue or a fix for it?

Thanks

Just did this yesterday to my buddies Z. Rodneydickman.com has the repair kit. Just make sure you get the right year for your car as the kits are a bit different and get a helper. I did mine on my own and doing his yesterday with 2 sets of hands was much easier.
