Default headlights problem HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my cars headlights are making a weird noise! when i shut them off...they go down and the right headlight starts humming and vibrates the whole car! now i dont know if it has anything to do with the headlights but i think the noise is becuz the motor is going out...BUT im not sure...! i know the F-bodys have a record for window motors and stuff going out all the time...so figure it may be the same for the headlights. anyone know what im talking about? any help would be GREATLY NEEDED...if it IS the motor for the headlights how much will it cost to fix???

sounds like it is just the gear for the headlights! It happened to me a while back...

There is a free fix... I don't remember where it is but I'll try to find it for you.

http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/headlightfix/#FreeGuide This is the link for the free headlight fix... he also sells the brass gear, but I didn't want to take the motor apart.

Again same thing with me... fix the gear and it all works...

I have no idea why it does this... but it does!

Take your time, and make sure not to install the arm backwards like i did... makes things not work properly!

Its a problem associated with them breaking... Not sure if the gear will fix it or if the motor needs to be rebuilt.

Edit: Just checked, on the link posted eariler if you search it will say its 100% related to a worn-out gear...
