T/A headlight motor? Anyone have a spare driver's side headlight motor laying around for a 2002 (or 98-02) Firebird by chance? Mine crapped out this last weekend and is making that hideous noise. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even just a part number or a place to get it fairly cheaply if you don't have the part itself.

I am doing some reading but the search function on this site is down for some reason.

Sorry i'm just now getting to this but here is the link to where i orderd the gear from: http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/headlightfix/index.htm
i got it in a few days. it works great and won't strip again. it took me about 30 to 45 min to replace the gear in the motor.
there is a temp fix on that link. you can rotatethe current gear cause the notor only uses half of the gear. it's all on the link
