Default Headlight dilemma

OK, replaced gears in one of the headlight actuators, now they are perfectly out of sync. "Unfixed" one goes up and other goes down, both with lights on and vice-versa.

Any suggestions before I rip the whole thing apart again? Thanx.

lol, yup. did the same thing myself. you hooked up the thing backwards. remove the headlight shroud on each headlight and compare the two. its just a matter of moving a bolt. looks kind of funny in the meantime. theres two ways to hook up the headlight to the motor, so you have 50% chance of doing it wrong. its a min fix. good luck
