Drivers side headlight doesnt move
2000 c5 base. Headlight USED to pop up and down when switching on and off. Saw some things about the bump stops and changed them. Now the motor doesnt even work at all. Lights on but no movement from pop up

Does it make any noises? Grinding? I just had to replace my passenger side headlight gear.
Probably need headlight gear rebuild kit.

Connectors get pulled apart while putting the bump stops in? I would check there1st.
Or the brackets could have gotten behind the stops but think the motor would still be making noise trying to open?
