98 headlight gear replacement
I've seen posts of changing the gears and needing to clamp down the housing but I've also read that the early c5s such as mine with the 3 bolts don't need to be clamped down, just bolt and go. Is this true?

My 99 coupe came with the later model housing that is glued.
Here is a good write up for you from Rodney Dickman.

That is correct. The earlier models 97,98, some 99s have the heavier duty aluminum casing that has 3 screws holding it together. The later models came with plastic housing that is epoxied together.

I got mine from him.
Also one issue I'm having is I CANNOT lift the light. No matter how much I twist the thing, it will not raise
