Now I know it is a fairly common problem on Firebirds but my car only had 17,000 miles on it and it is NEVER driven at night so the motor never even gets any use. The wierd thing is that there NO grinding at all. It just seems like the motor is not getting power or seized. I checked the fuse and that looks fine, any other ideas? Are there some connections I should be checking? Is this an easy install to do? Thanks guys.

 

don't use a stock replacement, buy a brass one from Brent

 

I don't think it is the gear though, I think it is the motor itself, like it is not recieving power. No grinding, but literally one day it was working, and the next, it wasn't.

Thanks. According to his website, it sounds like my gear is ok but the connection to the motor itself may be a bit corroded. I will check it out this weekend but I will probably order the brass gears and save me a head ache down the road.

 

That little FAQ section I put up about all known problems with these headlights (if it's a problem I probably know about it. LOL!) is pretty new. Was getting ready to post it but see somebody beat me to it

Let me know if that was the problem and if not and if you do find the problem, let me know. After a few people have the same problem I'll stick it in the FAQ
