Re: whats wrong with my head lights

There have been many people that have been having stupid issues with thier headlights, talk to the guy from top-down-solutions, i'm suprised he hasn't hopped in this thread yet, he sells a bushing kit for the headlights, and while it doesn't make much sense it has cured many cases of inoperable headlights. Do a search on firebird headlight problems and you might be able to find him on the site if you don't want to email the website (might be faster as well)
