Post Really weird problem, please help!

All of a sudden, when I set the alarm, my headlights pop up/down.

Also, when my headlights go down, the drivers side headlight motor keeps trying to push the light down so it rattles for about 5 seconds.
Thx

Okay, let me see if I can help. If the alarm is completely stock and has never been messed with and the problem just started my guess is a blinker or foglight hot is somehow crossed with your headlights. If the alarm is new or you have changed any wirring double check your work. The alarm makes the blinkers flash and if the fog lights are turned on, they will flash also. Try arming the car with the foglights off and see if the headlights do anything. They are getting the signal from somewhere. Hope that helps.

It just occured to me if the headlight motor is staying on it might have to do with your dome lights. When they turn off they fade out. This is just a stab in the dark but you need to get it fixed because repairing the light motors and tracks in a T/A can get expensive.

Thanks, yes the alarm is stock and hasn't been messed with, I've had the car for 5 months now and this is the first time this happened.
About an hour ago, I just took out the fuse for the headlamp motors and manually put the lights up.
