Default Headlights On My Trans Am Makes A Noise When T Goes Down.

Hi, Can someone tell me if I need to change the motor in my 1997 Trans am headlight because it makes this loud noise when it goes down for like 5 seconds. If not then what could it be. Thanks

Yep your plastic gear probably got grinded down, i had the same problem and switched to the brass gear. Yet it still happened again, so i said **** it and just put HIDs in my foglights and run those now.
