Default 99 ta head light issue

A friend has bought my dads old 99 ram air. She has had it for 3 years. the head light burnt out the other day and her dad changed it for her. Now when she hits the keyless entry the fog and daytime running lights flash like they are supposed to but the head lights flip up and back down and the head light motor keeps running for a few seconds after it is closed and growels like the gears are skipping (not good). any idea what could cause this? I haven't looked at it yet so any input will be helpful. Thanks Rich

Not sure about the lights going up and down with the alarm but here is a link to a nice fix for the grinding motor.

Those will help if I don't get it fix before she ruins the factory gears. Anybody have an idea? Please help.

the headlights will act crazy when the gears are messed up.

Even with just flashing the parking lights when locking the car ... great GM engineering... lol
