Default flip up lights grinding

Hey everyone. I own a 2002 formula. Recently whenever I use the key fob to lock/unlock the car the lights open then shut then grind (gears I'm assuming, which are stock) for about 5 seconds. Anyone have this problem or heard of this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I just read an article somewhere about this.It was in the sticky of this forum or in shobox. Mine did something similiar. It was because the gear in the headlight motor was stripped out. They are super easy to fix. Napa had the gear, It was made by Dorman, the company that makes all that crap labeled "HELP".....
