I was told that I will need a "headlight core" for my 1985 IROC. Ok, no problem. Called the salvage yard, they ask which side. I am confused; had thought the headlight core was one piece. Asked around here, found out that yes, it is indeed 1 piece. Ok, no problem. Went to the yard today, and I only found two pieces on the Camaros that looked like what I thought a headlight core looked like. Like, a piece per side. Now, was I looking at something different or what? Can someone explicitly describe or post a pic of what a "headlight core" looks like? Thanks a bunch

 

There is no such thing as a "headlight core" that I know of. I am a firebird guy, but that still doesn't sound right. Who told you this, and did they try to sell you one? You are going to have to ask them to be more specific and show you the piece that is worn. It sounds to me like your being scammed. Be careful.

Coming soon: new interior (grey), rear end work, subframe connectors, polyurethane bushings

 

There is a fiberglass or plastic piece that holds all of the headlights in place, that might be what they are calling a headlight core. It's kinda odd shaped and has the four headlights plus four studds that help hold on the nose cone. Make sure that's what they are talking about and don't get scammed.

 

Maybe this will help you out some True,,,


#2 is the 'mount panel bracket'

I realize we could describe this all day long,, but a pic is worth a 1000 words huh ?

Hope this helps better

That's perfect. I do believe that is the part I need. Mount panel bracket, eh? Well, alright, mount panel bracket it is. -=) Thanks to everyone who helped out with this. Deadbird, where did you find that diagram?

 

www.parts.com is where the pic came from.

neat little trick - right click on any pic or graphic online, and you can select "properties" and it will give you the url for the pic.. so you know the location.

this works with IE.. I know Netscape does it simmilarly, but it's been awhile since I used it.
