Anybody ever put a power mirror motor on a light? Can it be done?

I was just sitting around thinking of new projects and I was thinking about how I could make my rear light (on my roofrack) more adjustable. Any way to hook up a power mirror motor to it to adjust it up/down and left/right?

Any ideas?

Has far as I know, nobody has ever tried it.
You may be heading out into undiscovered territory.
Let us know what evolves.
 
I did a similar thing but I hacked apart my radio control car. Kind of funny to freak people out when they walk by my Jeep. I have a remote turn on and then you can sit quite far away and follow them with the light. Took a while to get the servos worked out but works great. After all that I was in BoatsUS and saw a remote control light for $99, that sucked as it about 3 weeks to get it right.
 
I saw some guy mount speakers to the power mirror motors. This way he could aim the speakers for optimum listening depending on his seating position.
