While we're on the subject, one of the actuator gears in Ami's lights got brittle and some teeth sheered off, causing the motor to free spin. Some say I should have stuck with new nylon gears and bushings, but I opted for the bronze gears and grease.

That car gets fewer than 1000 miles per year, and most of that in daylight. So, I doubt that is a fair comparison. But, just sayin...it is an option to nylon!
