Default Do your headlight buckets come up when...

you turn your light switch to parking lights?

Until recently my headlights buckets stayed down when I turned my parking lights on (and my driving lights) A couple weeks ago the headlight buckets started coming up (with the headlights off)

Any idea which is correct?

That's what I thought. Now the question is what is causing this. If I am not mistaken there's a headlight control module mounted on the side of the radiator shroud. I'm guessing that the culprit...?

I have HID driving lights. However, hey have been on there for almost 2 years now without a problem. I use them alot as DRL's. But no, the car is not canadian.

I have an electical manual an will run the circuits down to see if the headlight switch is a possibility also.

Has anyone else had this issue?

H
it is mounted in that front pocket where the AIR pump is/was

the module will be bolted on the front of the wheel housing.

My suspicion would be a bad headlight switch. Possible shorting across the contacts when in park lamp position, sending current to the motor circuit.
