headlight issues
Hey guys have a question ...I have a C5 vert with one headlight up and one down ....the usual issues .....they both go up and down just not in sequence . not in sync ....then when i shut the car off and turn off the headlights the drivers side stays up ...I dont have any grinding noises either ...there are only 33.000 miles on this car too ....not that that matters just wanted to mention .......wondering if I should replace the gears as well asa have some kind of adjustment made that Ive been reading about on this forum ......has anyone ever used the BRONZE repair kit gears that they sell on EBAY instead of the usual BRASS ones .? just asking . They are more reosonably priced ...My other C5 from many years ago I used the brass ... but of coarse they didnt offer the bronze ones back then ...... any ideas here ?

:Mine were doing this as well. I got the car from my dad, he had put bronze gears in awhile ago however now it was the motor itself on the passenger side. A set of motors with gears from Amazon for $70 bucks have been working great now for a year. Swapping entire assemblies out is a lot easier than replacing gears it seems to me.

Well you can get the gears for about $70 Amazon has bronze ,brass, and nylon gears . Motors are about $45 each i dont think I need the motors, they work and there is no grinding noise .

I just ordered a set of bumpers .......its like all of a sudden now the left one is staying up .........and then I have another question ? when they are "working" do they both open and close simultaneously ? in sync just wondering ?
