Headlight not coming up??
 
When I got the car both lights were coming up just fine. Yet now after having to jump it a few times the passenger side didn't come up. It went up then I brought them down, and when I tried to bring them back up again it didn't come up. How can I fix this, I don't want it winking at me haha.

What year? For a temporary fix, you should have a manual crank to bring the headlight up and down. To test it just put the motor to a 12 volt source and see if the motor moves.

Yeah, then you should have the manual crank under the front bumper.

If it's getting stuck halfway when being raised, i'd suspect a stripped gear inside the motor assembly. Happened to mine as a result of the cover hitting the hood for too long. Try raising them using the manual crank and see if it "clicks"

I used the manual crank and then I guess it clicked, works fine now
