Default Headlight motor ?

I just replaced the gears in my headlights with the brass ones from the brent franker website, and now the driver will go up but it wont go down, and the passenger dont have any power at all. Has anyone had this problem? Do the motors not have enough juice anymore.

I did both of my headlights about a week ago and one of them would not go up at all, the plug harness underneath the light assembly was just a little loose. It appeared to be fine, but after pushing it in tighter then it worked again. As for the side not going down, did not encounter that but just make sure the headlight lid is not hitting the hood, it might need an adjustment. Maybe someone else can chime on this, good luck.
