Replacement Headlight Gear For 1991-1996 SATURN SC-2 and the 1997 and up
Saturn SC-1 and SC-2
Precision CNC machine made brass headlight gear to replace the failure prone plastic headlight gear in the 1991-1996 SATURN SC-2 and the 1997 and up Saturn SC-1 and SC-2. Easy to install. Complete instructions are included. Each gear kit includes a packet of Dow Corning silicone grease which is superior to the grease originally used as it will never dry up. The side cover will need to be pried off to do this repair but that is easy to do. An epoxy glue packet is included with each gear kit to glue the side cover back on. Includes all that is in the picture below. A new brass CNC machined gear, new rubber bumper, silicone grease, epoxy and the special steel brace and bushing.
If your headlight motor(s) make a grinding noise when turned on or turned off this is what you need to repair your headlight motor. If you have the factory alarm/remote door locks sometimes the headlights will act funny if you have a headlight motor that is in need of repair.
New design! Re-Engineered for even longer lasting life!
Now upgraded to include a newly engineered special steel brace with a special plastic
support bushing. I have noticed a few glue joint failures. Glue joint failures happen
because the plastic that these headlight motors are made of does not take any adhesive well.
The glue joint surface is small and once installed it has to take a tremendous force that occurs
when the headlight gets full open and full closed and stops abruptly. I have added a special
stamped steel brace with a special plastic bushing. This brace and bushing does two things. It applies a slight pressure against the side cover helping to eliminate side cover glue failures. But most importantly it adds a new bearing surface to support the shaft thus removing all the pressure of the shaft from the side cover and transferring it to this new brace. Once installed this repair should easily last the life of the car.
