Headlight Motor Install I just recieved my headlight motor in the mail today. Its the passenger side one. Is this something that can be done without any installation instructions? I have been looking through the "search" feature and i can't seem to find anything. Now, i am very mechanical so if i can do it myself i will. I just want to make sure there isn't something important i should be aware of.

I did this a few month ago on my car. It wasn't hard at all. It took me less than an hour from start to finish and having the garage all cleaned up.
I ended up having to take off the plastic shield around the headlights, as well as the metal headlight cover.
Having smaller hands would have made the job easier, as the 3 bolts holding the motor are a little tough to get to. I used wobble sockets to make it easier.
There is a video tutorial around somewhere for replacing the headlight motor gear that show pretty much the whole process.
