Default Head light Noise-Help

Hi!

I have a 2001 ZO6 and when the head light closes it makes this awful noise and I knowit is from a gear going bad. I have also read that I can replace it with brass gear(s) instead of plastic gear(s), which will be a muh betterfix, could some one help me by PM me with insturction on how to fix this and where to get the brass gears(s) .... PLEASE! or maybe just tell me where I can get this info.

Thank you in advance!

Go to the top or the page....there is a "sticky" titled "the ulitmate diy thread". Click it and there is a step by step on the fix with pic's and where to buy the kit. Buy the complete kit and not just the gear.
