Purchase after market headlamps. Are the OEM motorized units worth anything ?

    I can only assume the tow/ leveling motor can be removed and reused ? The whole unit works just fine the bezels are even in good shape. I just got a good deal on some black outs minus the center it's still clear for better visibility.

    I'm confused on what you are asking and what you bought. Don't remove the leveling motors and try to reuse them on another set. Those motors have a rod that connects inside to to the bezel itself. They will never work right once removed. I messed with this on an old set of headlights that I removed.

    You answered my question. I bought set of new headlamp assemblies ... I thought the motorized units had value. I have two complete motorized adjusting OEM headlamp bezels that I removed off my truck. Thought someone could either use the motor or the whole unit ?

    I am a bit of a hoarder, but I boxed up my old headlamps with the intention of polishing them up, painting the surrounds black, and keeping them as backup units for when my morimotos have issues.

    ...They've remained untouched in the box for almost 4 years now but I've got em JIC.
