I just picked up this car so, I'm not sure what was done to it in the past. I got the car and turned the headlights on and off a few times and they came up and lit just fine. Turned them off and there was a lag of maybe 30 seconds and they would go back down. The last time I turned them on, they went up and turned on just fine. Pushed in the headlight switch and the lights turned off but, the lights didn't go back down into the body. Both of them btw. Any easy diagnosis/fiises?

turn the black knob on the top of the headlight motor should close when the relay is switched by movement. If there is no power and the relay is not energized, keep turning the knob till the headlight is down, it will keep rotating up again, if you keep turning the knob.
