Can i put a 88 trans am headlight motor in a 85
the 85 has a 2 wire connector, while the 88 trans am has a 3 connector wire.
Any ideas if this is doable? And how would I wire it?

Well, I do know it will bolt up, but the connectors are different.
I don't have a 88 wiring diagram for the headlights, so not sure why there is a 3 wire connector. I now have at my house a '85, '87, and '88 TA. A lot changed on the '88 from the other 2 3rd gens. Serpentine belt, different motor accesorie mounts, etc.
