Lon You responded to a thread about headlight motors but I can't find it anymore. Also hope I got your name right. ..... At any rate My lights started really wigging out this weekend so I need to do something with them. ..... Basically one is now not opening all the time stops about halfway open when it is messing up so I know its not an electrical problem with the car itself and the knocking noise these motors make is rediculous as well ...... Anyways what will it take to fix these things????? I am not sure what year motors they are but I will post a picture of them tomorrow. I kinda remember pulling them from a firebird with one of those banshee type front noses. I believe they are the two wire with that relay thing on the firewall. But they are not the original 82 units or even resemble them in any way. Anyways let me know what it will take to fix these things right and I will send you my credit card number to get the stuff.

Re: Lon Salvino
If they indeed are the 1987-92 two-wire motors you'll need my TDS 209280 headlight repair kit. Confirm they are the two wire motors since your original motors would have been a three wire motor and require a different kit (which I also sell).

Re: Lon Salvino
Well I do know the motor drop into the top of the motor assembly and bolt down with like 3 screws. but I will take a picture of them tomorrow so I get the correct stuff. ...... I want bushings, gears brushes whatever to get these things back to normal.
