broken headlight motor!!!!!!
broken headlight motor!!!!!! I know this quetion has been asked a million times and have still yet to find the answer.........Everytime I try to put my parking lights and fog lights on, my headlights pop up. My driver side motor had a busted gear and makes that aswome noise when you put them down. Is the reason why my headlights pop up when I just put my fog lights on is because of a broken gear??? or is there something else??
thanks

thanks

mine does this as well but on the passenger side, and like you i can not find the awnswer to this??? i just love the embarrassing noise everytime you lock your car or turn them on or off , so does hte headlight motor need replaced or can you just replace this GEAR your talking about i wonder??
Well after my hundreds and hundreds of hours reading.............they say once you change the broken gear, both of the problems will be solved. I ordered the gear and after I install it, I will let you know if it works!!!!

Brass gear or plastic-I think the most important thing is the support that you can only get with this kit:[IMG]
[/IMG] It supports the worm gear so it can't move around on the plastic gear by supporting the motor shaft.( it's the t shaped bracket in the pic)Kit comes from:http://www.rodneydickman.com/But his kit only uses the plastic gear-Brent Franker offers the brass gear but not the support.
