Headlight motor question
When I open or close my headlights, the right side head light is always much slower than the left. Does this mean I need to rebuild or replace it or is there some sort of adjustment? Thanks!

I believe it is normal as you have two motors drawing power from the same source and although they both may be new, one will get more power first and then the second. The wire to the right motor is longer than the left and there will be a bit more resistance in the longer wire. The connections to one may be a little better than the other. If you disconnect one, the one remaining connected will open faster.
I rebuilt both motors on R66 and the right one still opens slower than the left.

If I remember correctly there is a screw by the armature you can adjust for speed. Not sure if you can do it while installed
