So I went out to move my car, turned the lights on, moved the vehicle, and then parked. Went to turn the ligths off both went down followed by a horrible grinding sound from the left headlight. It went away after a few seconds. When i locked the car with the remote the lights came back up, went back down and the left one produced the same damn sound. What the hell is going on?

 

Ok never mind i figured it out, now i need to order one of those nifty brass gears

 

If you look for the Brent's TA website, he has the brass gears and instructions as to how to rotate the mesh gear to keep the headlight working for free.

 

Thats exaclty who I ordered it from. Was impressed that he e-mailed me back, the same day! Can't wait for it to get here, I did the temporary fix that you're referring to, but still can wait for it to be fixed properly. Thanks for the info,

 

I also did that, only to find that both sides are stripped.
