My Firebird's headlights will automatically pop up when turned on, but will not close when turned off. I have tried to change the fuses under the hood to no avail. I have just had to purchase 2 new batteries for my other cars after the freeze so am on a tight budget. I'm trying to find a fix for them myself so then I can sell it
