Sticking Headlight!!!

Alright. I don't wanna be that yahoo drivin down the street with one headlight up. But, I have a feeling I might be that yahoo if i don't do something quick. My left headlight seems to be sticking when i turn them on. I'm wondering if the motor is cutting out, or if there is a problem with the linkeage. Any ideas?

If the motor is running, but the headlight isn't moving, it is likely to be some plastic bushings that need replacing.

Top Down Solutions has a kit that fixed mine.

I am not good at all at taking things apart, fixing them and putting them back together (I know ... then why the hell do I have a third gen, right?), but this headlight repair kit was simple. Very cheap and easy fix to keep you from looking like a douche w/ one headlight up. That will make the nicest car in the world look cheap and lame.
