Default windows and lights question

getting pretty used to the 400 now and i'm loving it.

Two things have happened that were weird to me. First it's the windows.

Twice, i have been in the process of turning the car off and i'm rolling the windows up. As they go up and i am about to get out of the car, the driver's window rolls back down half way. I roll it back up and it rolls back down half way. I was like WTF??? So i closed the door, put the key back in the ignition and it rolled up and stayed up. Don't know what i was doing wrong except rolling the windows up with the driver's door open in park.

Second is the head lights. Today is the first and so far only time this has happened. It was raining out so i switched the head lights on (turned the headlight switch all the way forward) which normally turns on the real pretty HID lights. Well, this time as it clicked up once, the HID's turned on, and as i clicked it forward again, they turned off? What the heck? Normally, the first click turns on the driving lights and the second click turns on the HID lights. Anyone got an idea about that?

windows - regulator might be bad?

headlights - on mine, first click is corner/bumper lights, 2nd is all lights on, 3rd is auto meaning as the sensor sees that its getting dark the headlights will come on, if not they remain off until it gets dark enough.

good luck with window problem lol.

Windows - I think pinch protection keeps getting tripped, hence going back half way. Check your window frame and make sure nothing is obstructing the window motor railing.
