Hey guys I have had my formula for 4 years now and have never experienced a problem like the one at hand. Both of my headlights pop up and back down everytime I hit the lock/unlock button on my remote for my car. After they go back down they then continue to make a grinding type of noise for a few short seconds. The headlights work fine as is just have this annoying problem. If anybody could shed some light on this subject it would be greatly appreciated.

Simple, you have a bad headlight motor. You can go cheap and take out the motor and rotate the gear that might be sheered off or try and glue the housing together because the clips might be loose. I had this issue about a month or so ago and since I had already replaced 1 headlight motor I went ahead and just replace the other that was causing this. Problem fixed.

I have the same problem. Since my grandmother is retired from GM she gets parts cheap so I had her pick me up and motor and now all I have to do is get them installed. This is funny cause I though I was the only person with this problem.
