The hidden headlights on my 96 Saturn SC2 go up and down perfectly, but the motor assembly on the right side makes a terrible noise until they are raised back up. Do I need to replace the entire assembly or is there an easier fix?

Makes noise for about 10-15 sec other than that have had no problems opens and closes normal. Just for a few seconds makes that excrutisting noise. I also lubed the whole assembly with WD-40
