Headlight making noise
 
When I put my headlights down, all of a sudden the passangerside makes a noise like the motors putting stress on it trying to pull it down more, and it goes off after a few seconds, wtf is that?

Is it making a loud grinding noise for about 5 seconds? It probably is the gear inside of the motor housing that is stripped. Either replace the whole headlight motor or give brass gears a try.

Exactly, but my headlights still go up and down, if that is the only adverse effect, I will just leave it be...

Yea they'll still work but everytime mine went down it would make the grinding noise which sounds horrible. I replaced my whole motor for it and it's been fine for over a year and a half. Replacing it is not that hard and is worth it to get rid of the noise.
