Reply to "Head lights but won't go down"

Well I finally had time to revisit the headlight problem. Took out the motor and plate and have some questions on the wiring. How does it work? There are 2 wires and I assume that the current is switched to make the motor spin in two directions. I tested this by runnig direct to the battery with each and the motor went one way then I reversed the wires and the motor also reversed. I assume that this is what the switch does. Then the motor is stopped by the 2 up/down micro switches. Electricity has always baffeled me especially a switch like this. Anyway should I do any thing to the motor since I have it out? Also the gear is a bit worn which does not help my problem of the worn gears. Can I get a new gear. The micro switches are all rusted and I broke off the 2 bolts that held them to the plate. Can I get new switches also. Thanks for helping out a non electrical person.
