Default TA headlight

My headlights go down but one of them makes a terrible noise once it's all the way down and the headlight motor keeps turning. Is there a sensor that tells the motor to stop cranking when the light goes all the way down? I don't know much about the wiring side of these cars. Is that how it works or is the motor bad.

one of your gears is stripped you either have to replace it turn it,most get the after market brass gears or you can also turn it 180 degrees because the motor only uses half of the gear theres install instructions on installuniversity.com i believe

Free headlight fix. It will last for years or maybe just a month or so. I did this 5 years ago and its still fine on one of my lights.

Scroll almost all the way to the bottom to "Free Headlight fix".
