Firebird Headlight Assembly Differences

Hey Guys,
So once again I'm workin on rebuilding the convertible, and had another question...The passenger's headligh assembly took the bulk of the blow when I crashed, but the motor works ok still...

I know the earlier ones have the 3 wire motor instead of the 2 in the later models, but other than that difference are there any others?

Like, if I bought a newer headligh assembly could I just take the motor off the damaged assemby and put it on a newer one?

Thanks guys!

Miah

I think you may be alright up to '90, but I wouldn't swear to it. If I get a chance later I'll take a look in ye olde parts book and see if the parts numbers match up if no one else answer by then.
