There's nothing in the description that says it's only for one side of the car and you'll need to order two. Seriously, who's going to fix just one side? If one fails, the other isn't far behind, and any Corvette owner will replace both at the same time. br>br>Aside from that, it appears to be of the same quality (nice) as any of the major Corvette parts suppliers.
This package was purchased in case one of my motors' gears failed, and you didn't want to be unable to reassemble the headlight. But 95% of the times the gear is perfectly fine. There is no point in buying the expensive brass ones because only the 3 pellets get ground up. So just go to Amazon and buy $5 worth of pellets.
The replacement of the gear and bushings (it's really only the bushings that fail) takes some time, but the end result is well worth it and will save you a lot of money. br>The most difficult part of the job is removing the roll pins, so make sure you get a roll pin removal tool kit.
Simply take your time and watch the videos on YouTube multiple times. Be patient and take phone photos as you go, as the process appears to be slightly different from the driver's side to the passenger's side.
This summer, my lights began to break down. They'd rise, but never stay, and as I drove, they'd start to fall. I wasn't sure if this was the right thing for me; I assumed it was a pressure issue. I disassembled my driver's side light and discovered that the wheel was fine, but the small plastic pieces that go inside it were a pile of sand; I only needed the small plastic pieces, but I bought the whole thing anyway and it now works perfectly. The bronze ones are supposed to be better, but they are prohibitively expensive. It took me about two hours per light, and there's a great YouTube video that walks you through the process. So far, this has been a good product.
My husband was able to fix his erratically opening and closing headlights on his 1994 Corvette - or simply not at all He was able to complete the repair in a short amount of time and was able to get back on the road.
It appears to be in good condition, but when I disassembled the motor, I discovered that it had already been replaced. I discovered that the headlight module was bad after jumping it from a battery and tracing wires, so I'm currently repairing it.
I haven't installed this gear because my '88 Vette headlight motor "repaired itself. " pellets. br>However, they appear to be the same as ones I've used in the past for similar repairs.
