Mine does the same thing but my headlights also grind when they go down. From what I've been told it's because there's a problem with the headlight motors that they pop up like that.

Yep what happens is the computer actually reads the resistance and when both motors stop turning the resistance goes up and it shutd them off, but when they grind and keep turning it just eventually times them out instead. Since the computer couldn't tell that they were closed what it does it as soon as you turn the lights back on (even just markers) it runs them up to make sure they are ready to go.
