Default Headlight motor lubrication?
What type of lubrication is recommended to lubricate the headlight motors in my 1987 C4?

You can use silicone or white lithium grease.

I agree with the white lithium grease. It's a light weight grease, made by CRC or Lubriplate. Silicone spray isn't very long lasting for this application.

I meant silicone grease, not the spray stuff.
