Thanks. I'm thinking about getting all the headlight parts just to have backup parts, even if I don't need them right away.
I'll also think about upgrading the headlight bulbs, but the OEM headlight works well enough for me (I don't drive at night very often), especially considering what I've read regarding the upgrade bulbs' longevity (e.g., Sylvania Silverstar, GE Nighthawk, PIAA, etc.).
The SakeBomb kit looks awesome, but I prefer to keep the stock look and it's overkill for my driving habits.
Turns out I posted a thread on the bulb question 9 years ago

And found this one re: LED headlights: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...ights-1123661/

The Osram H11 long life bulbs look like the ones for me.

Thanks, guys.
My mechanic wanted me to ask the forum if there have been updated parts for the assembly.
I told him that everyone seems to be using the original OEM parts, aside from kits like the SakeBomb upgrades.
It's likely that the motors are fine... it's whatever is telling the motor to stop that is the problem (it kept going up and down, but closed properly eventually).

The contact plate I've mentioned more than once in this thread....
It's only 3 screws holding it to the motor and there are no loose parts to get lost.
If you keep ignoring the answer you will NEVER solve the problem.
