(all sorta the same fix)

Also, the switch just sends the signal to the relay, so you may have a bad motor on the drivers side.

or there is also this possibility:

I think a rendition of that last quote is what worked for me.

To sum up all that I've been doing:

I sent the new switch back to Amazon and they sent me a replacement. Got it in today and was still having the same problem: the driver's side headlight would just not go down. After messing with the headlights for a solid hour, I think I came to a solution. With the headlight down, when I would twist the driver side motor clockwise (I think, or maybe it was counterclockwise) it would trigger the motor to cycle and the headlight would go down and then back up. The passenger side headlight would do the same. I then got the random idea to cycle them both at the same time, and ta-da, they both work now! I guess it has something to do with synchronizing them so the headlight timing unit or whatever was all set. I don't know if this is the final solution (240 godz pls), but it seems promising.

Thanks again to all that replied.
