Anyone who knows auto parts knows that as our cars age the quality of replacement parts declines especially after ten years. The original equipment headlight motors are the best quality you will ever find therefore, rebuilding your original motors with OE quality parts is the best solution to solve your headlight problems. Why would anyone want to put a cheap Chinese aftermarket headlight motor in their American made classic car??
THIS KIT FITS THE FOLLOWING VEHICLES:1988-1996 Chevrolet Corvette (all models)(I have a kit with actuator bushings available in my store)1987-1992 Pontiac Firebird(I have a kit with a motor gasket available in my store)1987-1988 Pontiac Fiero(I have a kit with a motor gasket available in my store)1986-1991 Pontiac Sunbird (with concealed headlights)1988-1991 Buick Reatta (all models)1988-2002 Lotus Esprit and Elan (all models)2003-2004 Kia Elan)1990-1992 Oldsmobile Toronado (All models)1986-1989 Buick Skyhawk (all models)KIT INCLUDES:1- New OEM quality nylon plastic gear.3- Precision machined lifetime warranty Delrin torque pins.1- Grease packet with the correct amount of the same grease originally used by GM (snip the corner for easy application).1- New laser cut side cover gasket.1- Hard Copy of detailed instructions.
SYMTOMS OF GEAR AND BUSHING FAILURE:1. The headlight motor runs for several seconds but does not open the headlight.2. The headlight only opens partially or droops after it has opened.3. The headlight opens and closes but the motor continues to run with a loud clunking noise (You are running on borrowed time).Most headlight motors fail because of the soft plastic bushings that GM put in these motors. The electrical part of the motor typically does not fail. I have also seen a lot of gear failures (cracks) with the cheap aftermarket gears sold by others.
This is the premium quality kit that you want to rebuild your headlight motors to OE specifications or better. This kit containsallof the parts and lubricants needed to do the job right the first time.This nylon plastic gear will not crack or break like other low-quality plastic replacement gears and will not bind up your motor like the low quality and ridiculously heavy brass gears.
The three replacement torque pins are made of virtuallyindestructibleDelrin that willNEVERdistort and crumble into plastic bits like the originals or the cheap injectionmolded,and low-grade plastic bushings sold by others. This is not just a salespitch; I have actually rebuilt hundreds of these motors since 2010 using this rebuild kit withZEROfailures due to the gear or Delrin bushings. NOTE: If you prefer the softer OEM type bushings instead of Delrin I am happy to substitute them. Just send a message with your order to indicate your preference.
If this kit does not solve your issue or you run into trouble feel free to contact me through messages, and I will be happy to answer your questions or I can also apply the cost of this kit towards my rebuild service if you are unable to do the repair. NO OTHER SELLERS ON CAN OFFER THIS KIND OF SERVICE!
If you need other headlight related parts or prefer this kit with a high-quality CNC machined aluminum gear, then please visit my store and click on the category for your application. (I do not offer this kit with brass gears because the brass is just too heavy IMHO. When rebuilding these motors for my customers, I have removed and discarded many brand-new brass gears due to improper machining that binds up and locks the motor.carguy8t8 | stores

SHAMELESS RANT: This cost saving repair kit was designed and engineered by an American small business entrepreneur and was so successful that big Chinese business took notice and decided to copy it. These businesses are now shipping from the USA but are actually just funneling cheap, low quality auto parts direct from China. If you read their descriptions, you will quickly discover they have very little understanding of what they are selling, and their response hasmany complaints about low quality, poor customer service, and slow shipping.They cannot answer questions because they have no actual knowledge of the product and no idea how to rebuild a headlight motor. This means no instructions, and no idea of the quality standards required when manufacturing these kits. Through my rebuild service, I have received motors from customers who installed these Chinese gears (brass & aluminum) and had issues. I had to toss them in the trash due to improper machining which causes excessive noise and binding issues causing the motor and headlight to get stuck in the open and closed positions. Now that's going to be annoying when you have to open the hood to raise or lower the headlights!! We have been selling our premium quality kits here on since 2010 with thousands of happy customers and always maintain a near 100% positive response rating due to high customer satisfaction and excellent customer service you can only get from American small business. Buying kits withcarguy8t8as the seller ensures that you will receivethe originalhigh-quality repair kit from a knowledgeable classic car enthusiast and American owned and operated small business. After all,who would want to put cheap, low-quality Chinese auto parts in their American made classic car??Please be aware:Several customers have had issues because they watched DIY YouTube videos with people likely doing this job for the first time and pretending to be experts. Every one of these DIY videos I have watched has misinformation that can cause issues. From a guy using an impact driver to tighten the tiny little bolts on the gear case that often seize and break (C4 motors), to a guy who puts the thrust washers on the outside of the case to another guy who puts the snap in T-brace bearing inside the gear case with the gear (C5 kit)!What a disaster!!These videos may be helpful to give an overall sense of how to do the job, but you will save yourself some headaches if you purchase this kit and follow the detailed instructions that are included.
Thank you for your business!
