bad connection or ground to that motor. could be moisture or just failing. start with the easy/obvious then if that doesn't work start looking for another motor. should be easy enough to find.

I have the same problem only on the right side. I think it might be a ground problem.

I had the same problem... The right light would lift and fall slowly. In addition, the right bulb would burn dimly. It was a short problem. Messing with the relays would make it work better, then a few weeks later, back to slow. The problem revolved around wetness and I have a write up posted in this section about how to fix it.

A search for "Headlight Short" in key words and "Blktoptrvl" in user name pops it right up...
