Headlight Maintenance??
I was hoping that someone could tell me how to grease/oil the headlight motors. My passenger side light squeaks and opens a "tad" slower than the other. I've taken a peak inside and am completely lost as to how to properly care for this.. Thanks in advance!!

Several years ago I bought one of those inexpensive Globemaster brand (cheapie) oilers; the kind with the little lever style pump. Unscrew the top (pump part) and fill the plastic container with oil. I fill mine with cheap dino motor oil.
About once a year I remove the black headlight surrounds (3 screws) and reach in and squirt a very small amount of oil into/on each pivot point. Also the same for the hood hinges. Keep a rag handy for any run-off.
I now have 154K miles and still have my OEM plastic headlight gears and the headlight doors operate smoothly.
