I just finished that job.
Here's what I did.
1. I purchased the hardened aluminum alloy gears.
2. I packed the gear case with water proof grease.
3. I epoxied the gear lids down and left them off for 24 hours.
4. I used the supplied torque brace that goes over the lid and mounts to two of the three mounting screws.
5. I cut up my hands and arms something fierce doing it but they are mil spec. tough now and I never want to touch another one... LOL

Three things we've seen have caused these headlights to malfunction, make noise, or go out. The motor, actuator, or a short in the wiring. It is hard to predict the root of the issue without a pinpoint test.

That would be the only thing that would fail if the motor is attached securely.
Make sure those little tabs that hold the motor to the gearbox are smashed down real tight so the motor doesn't move at all on the gear head.
It should feel like one piece.

Just need to let the epoxy cure completely before re-installation.

thanks. i may have to just get rid of the plastic one that i put in there. ill take it back apart and make sure the epoxy is set really well before i run it again. turned it on tonight and it didnt even want to come up. nee to go back in and make sure everything is tight and secure.
This problem really sux, im on my 4th rebuilt motor from Autozone now in less than 8 months... It is getting really old, but im gettin pretty fast at changin them out now..lol
Im going to have to break down and spend another $45 for the alum. gear i guess... Its amazing but i have gotten as little as prolly 10 uses out of some of these motors...Rebuilt CRAP!!!!!

now the passenger side light isnt working and the driver side doesnt want to come up. im getting pissed. i am going out of town tomorrow so itll have to be monday before i can take it back apart. guess i need to invest in a more solid gear than the plastic ones.
Got both headlights up and down now. Only worked on drivers side now passenger side lights won't shine any light? WTF? Never touched that side. The motor comes up but it won't light up. Was working fine before
