Sounds like they might be on their way out, but as long as they're still working correctly I wouldn't mess with 'em.

Maybe just read up for now to see what you'll need to do, if and when they break.

4th gen headlight motors will fit! I put them on mine! U need some spacers, about 1/2 inch, and u need to drill new holes! The wireing is backwards! 87-92 2wire (green, and a grey with black) The 4the gen have the same colors, but u have to connect a green, to a grey/black...ect! Hope this helps! Later!!!
