Default HEADLAMP PROBLEM

anyone ever had a problem with their headlights not closing properly? i have a 98, and when i turn the headlights off, my passenger healight closes fine, but my drivers headlight goes down, then up, then down, then up, then down, then up slightly. baffles the hell out of me too. i had it fixed i thought, when i got some little stoper changed, but that is when the light would go down and then pop right back up. anyone any thoughts???? :crazy:

This is the "winking" healdight syndrome, and a known issue. I believe there is a service bulletin out on it and the dealer should be familiar with the fix.

It's probably the module. My driver's side headlamp was playing games with me till I put another one it. I'd hit the junkyards/ebay first, they aren't cheap.
