Default 2001 Corvette Headlights now working properly

Hello everyone I just purchased my first ever corvette a few weeks ago its 2001. The problem is that the pop up headlights will do whatever they want. When the headlights are down and I turn them on they will pop right up, but when I turn the headlights off they will stay up. The only way they will go down is if the car sits for a few hours they will randomly go down. And sometimes they will pop up randomly too but only when the car is off.

sounds like you have twilight sentinel. Go into options and turn this off. Your headlights should work as you expect then.
