Head light question?
When I turned my lights off last night. I heard a bad sound!! Sounds like the motor is still trying to pull down the head light for around 10-15 seconds after I turn off the lights. Anyone have this problem before?

Sounds like a stripped gear but you're in luck!
You can take the "free" way out by just flipping over the plastic gear since only half of it is actually used. Forum member markcz pointed me here and it worked great...

Other choices are to go ahead and upgrade to brass replacement gears or replace the whole assembly.

I agree with the diagnosis that the gear is stripped. But as long as you are taking the thing apart - why not just replace the gears with brass ones and be done with it?
