Headlight motors - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

When I turn off my headlights, there is a clicking sound even after the headlights are fully closed. When only the parking lights are turned on the clicking sound is also heard when they are turned off even though the headlight motors should not have been energized.

Need to replace gears in headlight motors.

Intruder · 09-06-2015

I was afraid of that. The headlights still extend and retract but the gears must be damaged. Corvette Central, here I come.

It's a quick and easy job. I just did it on my godson's '90. I got the gears at VettePros here in Charlotte which is quite local for me.

Gears and or pellets in the motors need to be rebuilt.

Thanks, guys. This looks like a good candidate for a winter project. I never drive this car at night anyway.
