i heard that only 180 degrees of the gear is used, so if you rotate it 180 degrees it will be good for a few years. not 100% sure though

Just spreading the word as I just found out about these. HELP (motormite, Dorman) makes a replacement plastic headlight gear for about 15 bucks. Autozone can order them, but it may take a few days to get them in. Part # 42400.

I hear NAPA may have them as well.
