To any 1982-1986 Firebird owner with a headlight motor that needs rebuilding, "CharlesRUS" has an eBay listing claiming he can rebuild your headlight motor for $84.98. This is a RIPOFF. I lost $84.98 to this fraudster. Don't throw your money away. If you require a rebuild on your headlight motor, here is a link to an honest rebuilder. He can also install an optional metal gear in place of the factory plastic for a significantly longer lifespan. The link is:

If you're trying to find a new motor somewhere out there on the WWW, good luck. I searched for hours and found nothing.

 

Thanks for the information...

 

WOW! It's even more at $169.95.

 

Wow, your18th post in 15 years. If that's not pissed off then I don't know what is.

 

LOL, maybe you didn't notice....But I don't have a thirdgen and don't spend a ton of time here since the attendance seems to be getting very slow here anyway. But, thanks for pointing that out, now I have 19, happy?

 

I was talking about the OP.

But yeah, I see you're a man of few words too!

 

Just trying to prevent other members from getting screwed by the same ******* who took me for almost $200.

 

Why would anyone pay that much to repair those? They are super easy to fix. Get the kit from Lon and basic socket set. Shouldn't take more than a half hour start to finish.

 

Don't even need a kit. Fill the center of the gear w/epoxy, put it back together...run the wee out of it.
