Headlghts gone weird
Headlghts gone weird OK here's what the car is doing. When I cut my headlights off they make a humming sound after I cut the car off. Now when I hit the lock or unlock button on my keyless entry they open then shut and make this loud noise. 
Any idea as to what would cause this. Thanks for your help.

The gears in the headlight motors have ground out (they are stripped).

Thanks for the help quys. I did the free fix and it works for now. For anybody that does this in the future make sure to remove the screw that goes into the plastic housing. It says to in the instructions but I thought to my self I'll save some time and not take it out. It didn't save any time and it WILL cut the hell out of you arm.
