Default Trans Am headlight problems

I don't know if lt1 style headlights and ls1's are the same, but I'm sure someone knows.
my buddy has a 94 t/a. when he turns on the headlights, the drivers works fine, the passenger side goes up fine, but immediately falls, almost seems like it's pushed down, bc you can't hold it up. If you manually screw the headlight back up it stays fine. Anyone ever experience this? i have a camaro and never dealt with with these.
