Default Headlight loose!!

Hey fellas,

I have a 2000 Coupe and the passenger side headlight started flopping up and down partially on the way down I-5 last night. They still will go up and down with the light on/off switch. When they are up, I can't push the passenger one down, but I can lift it about 3/4 inch before it stops. The driver's side one is tight when you try to push it up or down when it is on. Anyone have some suggestions?

Thanks!

The rubber bumpers inside the motor assembly are probably shot or the gear is stripped out. Time for a brass gear.
