having headlight issues, need some good advice quickly!!

i took my car out of storage this year and now its giving me greif, it doesnt happen everytime i drive the car but occasionally when i turn the car off and pull the key out the headlights flip up and down and it sounds like the headlight motor keeps running for about 4 seconds and then it stops, its freaking me out, im sure its just a small electrical issue but i dont have the money to take it somewhere to diagnose the problem, and i dont know jack about electrical stuff, please any input and ideas would be greatly appreciated

Have had this same problem on three firebirds now. Now the first thing I do when I buy one is rebuild the headlight motors. Has solved the problem every time.

The headlight gear search is spot on advice.
