Blown fuse(s)
Just went to drive mine and I recently installed a Bluetooth radio in it. Was just about to set off when I switched the lights on and I think one of the fuses has blown. The headlights won't go down now, they're stuck up, I lose the dashboard lights along with the sidelights. Are they all on the same fuse? Also where is the fuse box located?

Assuming you have a US version of Firebird , with the steering wheel on the left side of the car (I had heard that some Firebirds imported to Australia were converted to Right hand drive , I don't know about England , though) the fusebox should be under the dash , to the left side of the steering column . Now if it has been converted to RH drive , I have no clue where the fusebox would get relocated to . Also , as a point of general information , fuses usually don't just blow unprovoked . The wiring harness in both the front fenders and the trunk ("Boot" ?) should be checked to make sure they haven't gotten chafed or otherwise grounded . Good Luck , and post back your findings ....

Re: Blown fuse(s)
Great news about the fuse , and as to a replacement radio surround maybe Hawk's third gen or 1A Auto or Camaro/Firebird central may be able to help . Also , the for sale ads here could possibly have someone selling such a part , I see all kinds of interior parts listed there . Thread
