I put a new motor and gear assembly on my 2000 right headlight but I can't get both lights to operate open and close the same. When the left one opens the right one closes. I have tried every combination on putting the linkage back on with no success. Both motors turn the same direction but the action is the opposite.

You did it wrong. Why take all that apart on the car when you can just take out the whole assembly with three bolts and three nuts? Then you can take it to the work bench and be done with it in no time.

I just replaced the stock plastic gears in mine. The brass gears are pretty cool.

GREAT JOB
