ok, earlier today i was adjusting my pop up lights by turning the motor manually, well everything was working fine till i just got home and turned my lights off and when they went down it was making a loud grinding noise and vibration from the right light. Im guessing the gear in the motor is stripped, but also now when i lock it w/ the keyless entry instead of just the fog lites flasing, the headlights pop up and down too, can this be b/c of the motor malfunction too?

Yes.. happened to my brothers V6 vert.. You need to replace the motor..

We thought it was the body control module at first but we switched it out with mine and it didn't change anything..

You're obviously new here so YES it is all due to the gear in one of the motors being stripped you can either replace it with a brass gear or just flip it over. There's a sticky around about it so just do a search! Every fbody owner goes through it sooner or later!
