Default headlight motor

Has anyone had problems with the headlight motor? It runs for about 10 sec. after I turn the lights off. They both go up and down but the leftmotor doesn't stop turning right away. Is there an adjustment ordo the internal gears need replaced?
Thanks for any advice.

I have a 97 and the headlight motor was doing the same thing. I took it to my mechanic and he replaced the motor.......350.00! OUCH! I found out later you can buy a kit to rebuild the gears in the motor for WAY less money.
Live and learn.

Thanks! I found an old post on pg.7 that has pretty good insight as well.
