Default headlight motor noise

I have a question for a friend regarding a 2000 C5.

When selecting down headlights the motors drive down but make a noise like the motor is still trying to continue after the light has stopped.

Is this a gear or adjustment problem?

I did a search and have an idea that it may be a gear problem but I thought I would ask the guys that are familiar with the car.

I have a C3 that has never had a headlight problem

Thanks for any help.

There are replacement gears or a new one for about $180
Just put a new one on my 2002, sounded like the front end was going to fall off MidAmerica sells the kit for $50
