Firebirds with broken headlight motors..
Just wondering as to how many of us have firebirds with broken headlight motors... To me, nothing is more crappy looking that a firebird with the lights stuck up.. .(or one light stuck up...)
Don't lie, and don't be shy.. .just trying to get an idea

Yeah, I have noticed that too about roshambo's pics. He always gets good exposures and really clear pics. What I want to know is who you paid to stand on the hill or where ever to take that pic in your signature. :P I wish there were country roads like that here around dallas to take pics with...

The motors on these headlights aren't cheap either!
Mine cracked in half the other day, and the guy from the insurance company was doing the estimate on my car, and on the report, the 'Retractable Headlamp Motor With Actuator', coming right from GM is $294.75 canadian!

And Ward. I take all the pics you'll see in the sig, I just stopped the car, turned on the fogs, and walked up the hill. There have been a few times when Im laying down in the road taking a pic, and someone drives by... pretty hilarious to see their reaction.
Oh, and Bill, my friend had an 84 T/A HO and that same thing happened to him, the deer actually ran into the car near the headlight, and its head took out the light/motor assembly completly, then its mouth hit his hood, and made a big dent from its teeth!
