Mine did the same thing and I worked the stalk on and off a
bunch of times and the problem went away, I have been told this
happens because I almost never drive at night and never turn lights
on, mine also would not turn lights on when this was happenning

Why does Head light hang up on 1991 Corvette?
The plastic gears in the headlight motors are weak. I had the
same problem with my 1984 Corvette. You can get a new motor, but
it's much cheaper to get new gears. Check out the C4 section at
CorvetteForum.com for a how-to on replacing it.

and you can get the bushings (use Delrin, not nylon) on eBay for
less than $10 to do both. it takes about 1 hour per headlight
opposed to paying $300 per headlight to have it done.

Asked in Mercury Capri
What would cause the headlight on a 1991 Mercury Capri to retract but not raise?
The headlights "retract" by gravity but lift via a lift motor.
Failed headlight lift motors are probably one of the biggest
problems on early 1990 versions of the Capri. If one headlight
lifts fine but the other one won't, you'll need to replace the lift
motor. Mercury did put a manual lift knob behind each headlight
that can be turned by hand to lift the headlight into place in the
event of a motor failure. You can use the lockout switch on the
center console near the emergency brake to lock the headlights in
the UP position once you get both of them up properly. This avoids
having to open the hood and crank the knob every time you turn the
lights on. Rebuilt lift motors are available online at many
autoparts places that specialize in Capri - just Google "Capri
headlight lift motor"
