you know the manual **** to twist your headlights up ?
in case you dont there is a rubber boot above the headlight . remove this , then turn the plastic **** that manually moves your headlights up and dwon . try ans turn it about half way then try to flip your lights up . you might have to play with it some to get it straight and find out which way up or down the gear is set .

When you installed the motor you might have installed it incorrectly.
There is a black arm that moves when the motor operates, when you installed it you might have the black arm that has a hinge, par say, not in between the two stoppers; when your arm is moving, it is going where ever it feels.
I did the same thing when i did my install, look in your other headlight when its down and see if you notice what i'm talking about!


Hopefully this has helped you
