Default 2000 Trans Am headlights blinking- GREAT :(

Hi, I've got a 2000 LS1 T/A - and I've got an obvious electrical problem. The head lights don't always go up or down, not a gear problem , and when they do the motor seems to be running all the time. They also blink on and off with the blinkers.

No fuses blow- and I tried a new turn signal switch out of desperation.

I know it's almost impossible to diagnose over the forum threads, but anyone have an idea where to start ?

you guys breaking gears in the headlights, do you turn your lights on while driving?? i always make sure to just turn my lights on at a stop and havnt had a problem.. Think of how large the cover to the headlight is.. when in it opens at speed there is a lot of air trying to rip that headlight back. I think this is a major contributor to stripped gears.
