Default Fixed stripped headlight motor gear.

Forum members gave the diagnois and fix. Order the parts awhile back from BFranker. Drug my feet but got it done today using all the help the forum provides - encouragement, pictures and on and on. Headlight motors work like a charm. Thanks everyone!!!!!!!

Is this a real common issue, or just once in a while? Nicely done too, this forum is so full of information and helpful content, not to mention great deals on cool mods for sale.

If it hasnt happened to you yet, it will. GM uses crappy nylon gears, so they will get stripped over time.
