Yup, I redid my headlight motors a year ago with those kits. Works great and no problems since, plus, Brent is a really cool guy and a long time Mod over at cz28.

Fixed my headlights with the brass gears on my 94 LT1 about a year ago, they work great and have had no problems.

taking apart the motor carefully is a little tedious, but other than that, no complaints

and make sure you let the epoxy harden overnight.

Also,
If it's not one of the three prongs that go bad, you can also just rotate the gear 180 degrees; the motor only utilizes about 1/2 of the gear, so if you realign the gear to the opposite half, it should work like new. I did it to both headlights on my 95 and 96 Firebirds = 4 headlights total that it worked on. Total cost = $2 or $3 for epoxy to reglue the motor casing back together.
If anyone needs further instruction on how to do it, let me know and I can dig out the instructions (with images).
