    well, i remember seeing on that website that had the brass ones they showed you how to reuse the exisiting plastic ones for a while. if you take it apart the plastic gear is worn on one part, but if you flip it over it uses a different part of the gear, so it will work for a while longer.

      might as well do it right and get brass ones.

      but if your short on change you can use the same gear and just flip it around and it will work good as new. Just keep in mind you will have to change it in the future again.

        I was told that GM does not sell the plastic gear by itself, you have to buy the complete motor. Do the quick fix or get the brass gear.

            Do it as a selling feature for the person you'll sell the car to - the lights will never break! ;)
