Default Squeaking Headlight

Just noticed the left headlight squeaks for a second when it goes up or down. I know there are a couple of pivot points on the actuator arm that can be lubed. Has anyone else run into this before and solved it by doing something else? I'd appreciate any advise you guys could offer. :confused:

Spray some WD40 on the pivot points. That's all you need to do. Raise and lower the headlights several times to spread the lub. All there is to it.

My 01 headlights squeaked on delivery. Did the WD40. 22 months later...still no squeak.
