  • wtf headlight motor?

    so im heading to work today. stop at the gas station. then head to work. i get to work. cut the car off and i hear something grinding or something under the hood. then the next ****ing thing i know im seeing smoke.

    so i freak the **** out, pop the hood and the passenger side headlight motor is going **** nuts crazy. the black plastick adjuster knob on the top of it is melted to hell and smoking! the motor is hot as **** and is running.

    the weird thing is i havent used the headlights in like a few days so why in the hell is the goddamn thing running and over heating and trying to catch the ****ing car on fire?

    ive never had to screw with a headlight motor, but something tells me that **** isnt normal protocol for a headlight motor going out like that.

    either way, now i got to drop 116 ****in bucks on a new one. and for some reason the drivers side one wont pop up now either! WTF! either that, or just plug the damn thing back in and let the car catch fire and be done with it. im at wits end with this thing now.

    current car- 95 Trans am- bolt ons, parked and collecting dust. why? because **** it

    you could find a whole headlight assembly (motor included) on ebay for super cheap. I picked up a whole assembly for $60 bucks, not for the motor, but still....

      as far as prices... I just sold two headlight assy's on eBay about a month ago, mine included motor and bracket, and one sold for 175ish the other 190ish

        pretty sure its just the motor, going to check oreily's tommorrow, someone told me they have them for like 99 bucks plus a 20 or 30 dollar core fee. i can live with 70 bucks.

          I was just saying you might be able to get a whole deal cheap on ebay instead of 116 bucks....or maybe just a used motor for cheap...
