Default Repo Headlight Actuators

Has anyone used these? Was wondering if the cad finish on them looks correct and if they are reliable.
Thanks

Hi JN,
The actuators that I see at Carlisle all LOOK good. How they work, and for how long, I don't know. The Delco actuators that Dr. R sells are more than twice the price.
There is a fellow in Texas that rebuilds and re-plates your original parts. That's what I would do... but I'm quite crazy.
Regards,
Alan
