Headlight motor shaft
Well im trying to do the temp fix on my headlight gears i have the arm off and down to the shaft and it will not turn at all i dont want to force it too much but i put a decent amount of torque on it and it wont move. Anyone else have the problem?

Well the temp fix requires taking the cover off and taking the gear out, and putting it back in. Which I pooched, and now just leave my headlights up (unplugged the motors after turning the lights on)
If you don't want to pull it apart, that's kinda what the adjuster on the top (under the rubber cap) is for. It's more to fine-tune than to spin it 180º, but with the arm off it will do it, just takes time. GL doing it that way though, I don't think it can be done heh And by done, I mean successfully accomplished.

When I was dicking around with it, I thought the **** on top spun at a faster rate than the lower part. Which is why it's for fine tuning, instead of well, non-fine heh
