when you turn on your lights. and the driver side does not pop up do you hear a noise like the headlight motor is free spinning? or there is completely nothing happening except the light turns on? maybe you messed with a ground by accident?

the same thing happened to me actually, i had just installed the motors after changing the gears and only one lamp popped up. They both turned on so i turned it off and tried it again.. nothing. So as short tempered as i am i smacked the light that didn't come up and bingo.. it worked.
