The fix turned out to be simply lubing the motor that opens and closes the headlight doors. You'll want to remove the motor assembly -- unplug the electrical connections, slide over the clips that hold the torsion bar to the doors and then slide out the bar, and then remove the three bolts that hold the motor assembly in place. Once you have it out, turn it upside down, and start working some lubricant (I've used 30W oil, but use whatever is handy, I guess) around the shaft where the big knob is. Turn the knob back and forth a LOT while you're doing this! You'll probably notice it will get easier to turn after a few minutes. Reassemble, and you'll be amazed at how quickly those doors will fly open and closed! AND they will close all the way, too.
