New here and to my 2000 convertible. Love it so far but have a problem with the head lights. When you turn them off, they close just fime but the motors continue to run for 3 to 5 seconds and just vibrate. Any idea's?

This is really common, the plastic gear in the motor wears out. I forget who sells it but you can buy a new brass gear and replace it.

Thanks. I have heard of them not going up or down, but this seemed like a stop not working. I will check the forum and find who sell the kits. Thanks again.

Good luck with it. If it's convenient, perhaps you can post up installation instructions afterward.

Are there any secrets or gotcha's to putting them in, or is it reasonably self evident?

Thanks,

Never mind... I found Junkman's excellent blow by blow description.
