sounds like you have a stripped plastic gear on the headlight motor, I just replaced mine, I bought a brass gear from eckler's $ 49.99 (rebuild kit) 1 to 2 hours to fix, you have to remove the whole headlight to get at the gear, not to hard to do. directions come with the gear. that will also solve your problems with your fog lights and headlight flip. :auto: :steering:
