Drivers side just stopped working..... Thanks

 

1987-92 Firebird, 1987-88 Fiero, 1988-96 Corvette. If the motor runs you may just need to replace the gel inserts inside the large gear.

Sometimes I can get it to pop up by tapping on it..... did not work the last few times..... thanks Lon.....

 

Lon sells headlight rebuild kits that should probably do the trick. They are very easy to use and work awesome. Just like new.

 

ok so I have a 85 and laid My hands on a pair of 88 motors... what's the big diff? The 88's are smaller and make much less noise than My 85's when they pop up... can I easily swap them?

 

You'll also need to swap in a headlight harness from an 87-up 'bird for them to work.

'82-'86 used a 3 wire headlight connection and dual gear drive. 87+ use a 2 wire connection and single gear drive.

 

I believe you can use the 4th gen motors also. They use a differnt connector and that's it(I think). You might want to look at them though. I think that's what I used on my fiero when the headlight motor went out on it.

Check it out, you might be able to get a brand new one for half the cost instead of getting it from the dealer.
