I live in FW and I put gears and bushings in my 95 . I will be in town soon if you don't get some help I can look at it.
Does the manual **** move the light's ?
I put the bronze gear in mine cause someone said that very thing would happen eventually.
There is a headlight repair sticky in the tech section.
Do you hear any sounds ?

I'm not familiar with those parts, but it looks like you could drill it and install a split/rolled pin, to stop the spinning.

Can't help with your immediate problem. For the future and for other C4 owners though do this comparison.
On you next trip to the auto parts store grab 2 different replacement headlights off the shelf. One plastic, the other glass. Lift one with each hand and feel the amazing difference in weight.
Replace your glass bulbs with the plastic ones. This will prevent future problems with your headlight motors in the future.
