FAQ

What is a headlight door motor kit?
A headlight door motor kit includes the electric motor and often the necessary gears, brackets, and installation hardware needed to raise and lower headlight doors (or "hidden headlights") on certain vehicles.

Which vehicles use headlight door motors?
Headlight door motors are commonly found on classic American muscle cars, sports cars, and specialty vehicles featuring retractable or "pop-up" headlights. Check your vehicle’s manual or product listing for compatibility.

How do I know if I need to replace my headlight door motor?
If your headlight doors won’t open or close, move slowly or unevenly, or make unusual noises, it could be time to replace the motor—or the gears and linkages that operate the doors.

Are these kits vehicle-specific or universal?
Most headlight door motor kits are specifically engineered for certain makes, models, and years to ensure a perfect fit and correct function. Always check compatibility details before ordering.

Is installation straightforward?
Many kits are designed for DIY installation, with detailed instructions provided. The process typically involves disconnecting the battery, accessing the headlamp assembly, and swapping the old motor and gears for the new components.

Can I buy just the motor, or do I need the full kit?
We offer both standalone motors and complete kits (including gears, brackets, and hardware). If you only need to replace a single worn part, check product listings or contact our team for recommendations.

What should I do if my kit arrives damaged or doesn’t work properly?
Customer satisfaction is our priority. If your motor kit arrives damaged or is not functioning as described, contact us within 7 days for a prompt replacement, exchange, or refund.
