Headlamp gear replacement
I did a search for the replacement kits and most threads were several years old. I looked at rodneydickman.com but cant seem to get an order placed. who is carrying the gear kits these days?

Rodney is a good source but I used the Top Down Solutions kit which is geared (no pun intended) for the 2000-2004 plastic motor housing version of the headlights. The earlier gearmotor housings are easier to work with/fix.

I also posted a thread on my fix.

Thanks to both of you. my original attempt to load Rodney's site was messed up. I was able to get the site loaded properly and order it.
Patches, I'm sure I'll make use of your thread as I do the replacement...many thanks.

I was going to replace both sides even though the driver's side isn't chattering yet and bought 2 gears . . . .I have embraced the philosophy "if it ain't broke . . . ."
