Re: Used headlight motor (Pete)
Mine is the left as well. I was putting new gears in and when I took it apart, the armature was nearly frozen with rust. I looked at Eds corvetteshanty but his web page is out. I also looked on ebay with no finds. :cry
$160.00 to rebuild at mid america. What are you going to do?

Re: Used headlight motor (jfb)
I agree with jfb. I thiink these Vette shops rape us on the price of these headlight motors. Try a local shop to repair your motor for you. I have one out on my 84 and just have not wanted to spend $150.00+ for a rewound headlight motor

Re: Used headlight motor (scorp508)
Try contemporary corvette. Their website doesn't have a current price on the part, so call them 800-367-8388 (for-vette). I called them about some other parts a few months ago and they had very good prices.
