Headlights will NOT go down!!!

They were working completely fine, and now they don't. I turned the car off but forgot to put my headlights down, and when I went to turn the car back on and flip them down they stayed in up position. The lights still work but the casing does not move. What can I do to fix this??

Did you accidentally press the headlight button on the left side of the guage cluster by the door?

Nah.. warped the housing around the motor stator, resulting in power window fluid leaking into the windings. Luckily, I had some muddy water next to my garage, so when I got it home, poured it into the window filler (you know, the long crack at the bottom of the window, NOT the area with the doohickey that opens the door), and that seems to stop the window from going down more. Gettin cold again, though...
