Question: 2000 headlights

[Blu Cah]

I've determined that the nylon gear on my drivers side headlight is stripped, I was going to rotate it 180 degress, but when I got the motor disassembled, I saw that this fix was done in the past. I know this was supposed to be a temporary fix until I get the new brass gears that I ordered. I guess I'll just have to live with the noise until my brass gear kit arrives.

The question that I need answered is:

When I turn my headlight switch to the parking light position, are the headlights supposed to pop up and remain off until I place the switch in the headlight position? Or is this the way they work?

I know that if I turn the headlights completely on then back to parking light position, the headlights will go out and the doors will remain open. This I'm sure is normal.

On mine, the headlights do not pop up when I turn on the parking lights. When I turn the headlights off, but leave the parking lights on, the headlights stay up but turn off.

From the closed position, when you turn on your Parking lights your Headlights should not open.
