Default Head lights wont go down

As per title, this is one for the archives.

First time for everything...
Drove to work early morning with headlights on, parked, shut lights off, but they stayed up, cycled switch a few times, with key on, off, engine running, they would not go down.
12 hours later, turn the key to start the car, and the headlights cycle down, what the hell!.

Check the connections to the headlight motor.

They can become loose/corroded over time and cause to motor to malfunction due to increased resistance.
