Default C-2 Headlight Grease Question

I have my headlight motors disassembled while car is being painted. Gears look good so I want to replace the grease. Question.....what type of grease should be used on these headlight motors?

Keep it simple! Clean everything and apply wheel bearing grease. It works very well. Dennis

I used mobile 1 grease from a grease gun tube. They have worked great since the rebuild.
