1998 Trans Am Right headlight makes noise but will not open
The right headlight on my 98 Trans Am will not open on its own power. Will move a little, but doesn't open. I have to pull up on it. The headlight will bounce some over bumps and will close on its own when I shut off the headlights. Any idea what this is? Lot of people have issues with the plastic gear in them, but this sounds like a different issue.

i have this same problem but the other way around when my head light closes it makes this noise but the headlight operates up and down on its own perfectly. ive changed the headlight gear twice and it still makes the same noise... do i need to change the whole motor this time?

ws6store.com (sponsor here) sells a replacement gear. the stock one is a P.O.S. nylon gear which gets worn out over time (obviously). here is the link.
