Headlight actuator replacement

I am having to replace the right hand headlight actuator motor on my 1996 C4. Most of the ones I have looked at are rebuilds. My question is who does the best and most reliable rebuild. Do any of the rebuilds come with bronze gears as I had replaced the original gears and bushings last year in the the original motors.

You can buy the pieces to DIY and there are videos showing how to do it. For a reman I would look for the best warranty.

I had not thought about doing it myself. Wasn't sure if the parts were available to do that. I replaced the nylon gears with bronze gears after I first got the car. Do you have any idea where I could find a parts breakdown on the motors.

Sorry about taking so long to reply. I checked out Corvette Central and was not able to find out anything about actually rebuilding the actuator motor.
