Description

If a worn or stripped gear is keeping your headlamps from raising and lowering, the Dorman - HELP Headlight Motor Gear 42400 is designed to replace it inside the headlamp lift motor. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette, 1993-2002 Pontiac Firebird and 1993-1996 Saturn SC1, and it is cataloged for both the left and right headlamp positions. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Direct replacement: designed to replicate the original gear's fit and function on the listed applications.
Replaces a damaged gear: intended to take the place of an original gear damaged by collision, moisture infiltration or vibration.
Durable construction: made from quality materials and engineered for durability and reliable performance.
Expert-backed: supported by Dorman's team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.

The gear works inside the headlamp lift motor, helping transfer the motor's movement so the headlamp can open and close. Signs it may need replacing include a headlamp that stays up or down, moves only partway, or a motor that runs without lifting the lamp. Diagnose the lift system first, because the motor, switch or wiring can cause similar symptoms.
