Default Headlight motor questions

1) ordered gears from a forum member at a discount (forum members are awesome). I'm waiting for them to come in the mail.
2)One side definitely needs the gear replaced because it makes the noise.
3)The other sie comes up when it wants to which is never at night!
4)Is the one that doesn't come up all the time need to have the motor replaced/rebuilt?
5)I saw someone offering rebuild service, but can't remember where.
6)Suggestions/comments.
Thank You

Gear problem is on only one side, the right side doesn't make any noise either when coming up or going down, just goes up intermittently.
