Default Help, Headlights are making a horrible noise

My headlight started making a really embarasing noise last night. I can't describe what it sounds like, but it sounds like the motor is turning after the lights have closed. Also, the lights are now coming up when I turn on the park lights and also when I lock the car with the remote. Please help, I don't want to drive it at night now.

Thanks,

Brent

You may not have to replace anything yet. The passenger side headlight on my T/A just started doing this a couple weeks ago. I fixed it for free in about 10 minutes. Here's how:
