headlight trouble
In order to open the R. headlight on my 1998 vette I have to open the hood and turn the **** only slightly and then use the switch to open it. In the past I had to replace the gears but this is something else.Can some help me, it's only on one side, the other side works fine.

Hey Larry, Did you install the T brace with the brass gear. If not, the gear could be off just a bit. The T brace kit sells for $7.00 and keeps the brass gear in a perfect place. Without it, the gear tends to float.
