Metal upgrade is good for sure but if my gears are fine ill just replace the balls, if both are shot ill get the whole kit

It is the plastic rollers inside the gears. Just replaced them on 4 headlights. Gears were in perfect shape but I replaced with plastic gears anyway. The metal gears cost a lot of money. I would stick with plastic. My gears had zero wear. I could have reused them. I would have been pissed if I sprung the extra for the metal gears. The head lights also for some odd reason fail closely together so buy parts for both and use a good plastic compatible grease.
