One of the issues most C5 owners will have to deal or have dealt with is the headlight motors or more specifically the nylon main gear which will fail at some point. The signs are clear: noisy operation, failed up/down operations from time to time and finally complete lose of operation leaving you with just a running motor or a locked up motor.
More times then not if you are having headlight issues it is the main nylon gear it just is not designed to take repeated operations like the rest of the system. Our replacement bronze gear will end the common failed nylon gear for good and should leave you with a quiet long lasting headlight motor.
The kit will include everything (except tools) to complete both headlights nylon to bronze gear replacement. Included in the kit is the bronze gear, rubber isolator, bonding adhesive, seal gasket, silicone grease and complete instructions for all 97-04 C5 Corvettes.
This listing is for two kits one for each headlight. Please see our other listing if you are in need of just one kit. This dual kit listing saves you $5 over ordering them one by one.

These kits had all the necessary parts and lubricants to rebuild my headlight motors. It took about two hours per side and the headlights work perfectly and…
These are more expensive than the nylon replacement gear kits … These are more expensive than the nylon replacement gear kits; but, they are worth it. The kit had everything that you need to repair the headlight motors, glue, lubricant, rubber inserts and well made bronze gears. These should never wear out, the steel worm gear in the motor is now engaging bronze material instead of cheaper and less durable nylon. The kit contains instructions for the repair; but, there are some helpful how-to videos on YouTube also
High quality and everything you need. Do not replace … High quality and everything you need. Do not replace the gears with the nylon ones, this kit is what GM should have done from the factory. 1999 Corvette no issues with the swap.
