Anyone w/working Pont. headlight motors HELP

All those people on this site with working flip-up headlights for 82-86 to please tell me the part numbers for the two actuator relays and the isolation relay. I think I may have ordered the wrong ones, and that may be why my motors don't work properly. Thanks.

I have original, 16 year old working flip-up lights. I'll take a peek tonight at them. I have fixed one of them myself by opening it up and finding a loose wire crimp. A little dab of solder and it began working like a charm. I did THAT fix in '96.

there are two actuator relays that are little black boxes, attached to the frame of the car, near the front fender on each side. The isolation relay is by the radiator support near the battery and it looks the same. They may not have part numbers on them though, all the ones I've seen have white printed letters on them that wear off after a while. Also, the dealer told me that the original part #'s have changed to something else. I'll post the old and new part numbers that I think are right later this afternoon and lets see if anyone can verify them. Thanks for you help.

not that this helps alot, BUT...
the motors for the Firebirds and T/As are the same motors in Fieros, but reversed...
hence...the left Fiero is the Right Firebird and vice-versa...
