check the middle fuseable link (if I'm naming the wrong one, one of my fellow rotorheads will correct me) on the driver's side strut tower for continuity. 9 times out of 10, headlights stuck in the up position are a result of this link blowing. If it pops a second time, trace the cause.

You can replace it with a 2nd gen style fuse instead of a fuseable link if you like. Looks cleaner.

The fuse links are labeled. The center is the main link, and the 2 on either side are marked as headlights and retractor. The retractor link is the one to check.
As mentioned, the later style fuse links can be easily installed in the stock box. Not only do they look cleaner, but the clear top makes it much easier to tell when one has blown, as it not be clear any longer....
