Firebird head light actuators

My popup on my 89 firebrd has what looks like a good headlight actuator in it. Driver side and it's installed and looks like the right part but it is 3 pronged . The cars connector is only two pronged. Does anybody know of there is a special harness or a way to make it work. The part looks new and the mOtor looks correct and I would hate to change the part. Just because it is the wrong connector. Is there a way around this , or do I need a different motor for my headlight. Any advise is high appriciated! Thank you

Sounds like somebody put a 82-84 assembly on. They used individual Up/Down solenoids not Combined Up/Down unit that the later years used.

Three wire motors are pre 1987. If the manual up/down *** is big and flat you got the wrong motors.
