help the new guy out, please :P

okay so i replaced my flip up headlight motor, and whats happening now is that when i go to shut the lights off, when the light fully shuts, the thing still is trying to shut even though its in the fully closed position so i can hear the motor whining still for about 10 seconds give or take. it is on the driver side if that means anything. any input is appreciated, thanks.

It's your headlight gear. Search around, it's a common problem. The cheapest way is to take the motor back out, take it apart, flip the plastic gear 180* and put it back together. Not too bad of a job.
