Re: headlights - trans am 87

it could be the gear inside the headlight motor is no good, all the teeth wear off after a whil ebecause they are plastic, they sell rebuild kits. you can get another plastic gear for it for it or a METAL GEAR. the plastic one is cheaper but will obviously wear out before the metal one. hope this helps.

heres the link to the plastic gear-
