98-02 Headlight Assembly Arm Bushing Guys, my headlight motors are fine, but the arm that raises and lowers them has some worn out bushings so my headlight shakes while I'm driving with them in operation. I tried a hardware store and found something close butit's not quite large enough on the outside diameter. Are there any kits for these out there - maybe the 3rd gens, Fieros, or Vette have these same bushings?
Thanks
Thanks

So, My lights had been working fine for about a month, no problems no noises or anything. They went up and down fine. Just the other day I went to turn them on, the drivers side light went up fine, the passenger side light up didn't go up. So I shut them off, Then turned them back on, sure enough they both went up. I drove it for a while, shut them off. I went to turn them on again, sure enough the drivers side went up, while the passenger went down. This time I can't get them to both go up, this is so annoying. When you go to turn them on, both motors turn, why doesn't the passenger side light come up?

One teeth broken from plug and one cable hanging.
Looks like the mold ate away the wires and mess up the electric current.

NEW ISSUE:
-So I installed Brent's gears. Lights have been working fine the past 3 weeks. but yesterday, I noticed my driver light was up about half-an-inch. took off the bezel and tried to adjust the metal plate. cut them back off, the lights went totally down then the driver light lifted about half-an-inch...why wouldn't it sit flush, why does it pop up alil now?
-I can also barely pull on it and it will flip up about 2 inches with very light pressure. I can push on it and it will go down from the 2-inch lifted back to the fucked up half-an-inch.
-Anyone had this issue or know a solution?

I hope not cause when I had the HL motors out, I made sure I took off the stoppers and turned them to the opposite side.....I'll have to look at it after my pinched knerve heals....if the stopper is gone, can u just wrap the metal stob with pipe tape? or is it too soft and the metal arm just tear straight through it?
my bro-in-law backed his car into the T/A last night, so I'm missing quiote some paint on the rear bumper

Added LMC lights today!
FWIW-I like most of you guys have had issues with my motors and after much wasted time with metal gears and such I found the best thing is just bite the bullet and pick up new gm motors thru eBay for under $75/ea, problem solved for at least a few years, longer for me cause my car is parked most nights in the garage. YMMV
PS-I have a used set of Bosch E Code (Ralleylights) low beams just like on Susquehannah's Motorsports website, purchased from them by the prev owner and a set of HID's I will be selling, I bought these used and never installed them after seeing how nice the LMC's were. PM for info.

I know some of you guys are waiting on my install of the Autoloc HID's into my LMC housings and some pics of them. I haven't yet received the HID kits. They said they're waiting on the correct ballists which should be in at the end of May.

i checked, both stops are there. but now one is chewed up pretty badly. the arm was going past the stopper, so I bent the stopper bar out alil, worked good first 2 turns but now it's still popping up a quater of an inch, I was thinking, maybe put alil black tape over the plastic stopper?

Well, my passenger head light wasn't going up. Well lucky for me all it was, was the control arm running into a bolt, causing it not to come up.But now all of a sudden my fog lights don't work, they worked fine before. Not even little orange light thats supposed to light up when there on lights up now. What could this be?
