I had a good set for years....finally threw them away as no one wanted them and was tired tripping over the damn things.....so of course NOW I need one....I think....
The passenger side one refuses to go up without a tiny nudge/touch on the plastic knob on the rear of the motor....then it won't go the max height without a little more help from the knob. Any ideas on fixing them? I tried the BFH tap trick on the motor housing like I use on the starter solenoids....no go.... |

What? No one ever had this problem?
I just ordered some new H4s and would like to fix it or replace the motor when I do the install.... |

Mike -
If you need another headlight motor, let me know, I probably have a few lying around. I can either just give it to you or trade straight across for that V8 914 you are trying to unload. - Dave |
