my passenger side motor burnt out the day after i bought my car. the driver side 2 weeks later. that was wonderful. i was originally going to go with the brass gears, but for $30 more each i decided to just pick up a re-manufactured set with lifetime warranties from autozone. they have plastic gears but who cares, i can bring em back whenever i want.

install is pretty easy, the first time took a while, but i can swap em out in about 15 minutes or less now. take off the black cover on the front, remove the headlight cover lid, remove 3 bolts holding motor assembly to bracket, remove bolt holding the arm to the motor shaft. all are 10mm bolts. the back one is a painnnn. luckily i had a really thin wrench, takes a while to find. small sockets or ratchet wrenches are also really helpful since there's not much room.

after about 2 months with mine i noticed the passenger side cover was popping off of the motor(was changing a DRL). i pulled it out and epoxied it, installed it and it just popped right back off again. took it to autozone and they replaced it for free with a brand new one which now has 3 screws holding that cover on so i never have to worry again woooo.

also, you might want to check if your front turn signals are working. for whatever reason the HCM goes nuts and they may not work. i didn't know mine didn't until about 6 months after it started grinding. always wondered why people cut me off. as soon as i fixed em, blinkers!
