headlight problem
last week I installed the DRL with switchbacks and Led strip.The new look is amazing.Thanks RadioFlyer.I did numerous checks of the lights and everything worked as it should.Tonight i backed the car out to put some items in the attic.The car idled in the driveway for roughly 10 minutes.When I pulled it back in and turned on the running lights one more time the headlight buckets also popped up but didn't light up untill I turned the headlights on . when I turned the headlights off they lowered, but the drivers side has a sound like the motor is stuck and runs for another 5 to 10 seconds.nothing appears to be hanging up on the headlight housing. My first concern is the lights coming up when I turn on the running lights.No idea where to start.it's a 99 vert.

A stripped headlight motor gear. It's fairly easy to repair yourself. Just make sure you buy the brass gear replacement kit. I recommend you do both headlights because it's just a matter of time before the other one fails.

thanks for the info, hopefully that's all it is.I can't imagine having one of these cars without having the forum to turn to.
