Do you have HID's? If yes, try the high beams if you have halogen high beams or install resistors.

If no, try turning the ***** to lower them a bit and then turning off the lights. See if they close the rest of the way. If yes, my guess would be the gears are jambing enough the motors can't close the light. Odd both would do it but it's possible. If not, then it's likely the headlight module or the headlight switch.
