Swap Headlights?
I just recently bought another firebird, 
so I will be swaping some stuff out between the two birds. Does anyone know if there is any difference between the two headlight motors or installation issues between my 'donor' 91 onto my 85 bird? I will be swaping out the headlight covers, or plastic assembly around the light, but since I have no clue if ether motors have been rebuilt, would it be worth the effort?
Oh, and my 85 headlights don't flip up right away, I have to hold the switch for a second(lights only flip up as much/long as I hold the switch on)
Thanks

Re: Swap Headlights?
The mounting screws, are they in the same location? If so, which motor would be best (may last longer)?
Thanks
Thanks
