The headlight motor works, but sounds like a meat grinder. Is it on it's way out?

It’s uncommon for the motors to go bad but if you need a replacement, let me know and I’ll send you a set for the cost of shipping.

Ditto. I have some you can have for free. They're heavy so the shipping won't be cheap. BTW, I don't know if they work.

It was one for potential sale, but when tested, it worked, but was noisy.
I tried to post a video of it, but not sure how to tone it down to upload it.

They are easy to test.
