Headlight gear box. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

After getting my new tires put on, I took the ZR-1 out for the first time in 24 months. Had quite a few people stop and look at my car and comment how they had read about ZR-1's, but never saw a real one. Nice to see that there are still some people who can look at a C4 and recognize a major difference!

Later in the evening I left to go home and when I turned on the head lights, they rotated half way around a quit. I made me some new pucks out of Delrin and rebuilt them. Head lights work as new again. I thought it was quite odd that both sides failed at the same time. When I opened the gear box, both looked they had salt in them. I wonder if the lube that was applied originally causes the original pucks to desintigrate?? I also wonder what the OEM pucks were made of?
