Default need some help!

Yesterday i decided to take off my nitrous system and do a complete re-install of it.. i wanted it to look flawless mounting, wiring, and all. I finally got done about 1a.m. and decided to take it for a spin. when i came back i went to turn off my lights and the passenger headlight-*** keeps spinning in the closed direction after the head lamp is down.

A really loud annoying sound is made by this.. it lasts for about 7 or 8 seconds then it finally stops. My question is, would this be a bad headlight motor?????? or possibly something else??

any and all help is welcome

thanx: tito
