i hate flip-up headlights

i just replaced my right side headlight motor, and right now it is stuck flipped up, and the left one i have to turn on several times for it to come up.
anyone have any ideas of a quick fix or even how to get replacement
non-flip-up headlights found some on ebay but they 1k and i cant afford that

You are not going to find a descent conversion for much less than that. Those conversions are not cheap.

yeah chads link is the end of flip up headlight problems.

sorry to say, but your motor probably wasnt bad. its mostly the gear that strips out.
