which would be the easiest way to replace the headlight motors on a 2000 Trans Am?
1- Take the front bumper off to have easier access.
2- Take the headlight assembly off the car as a whole. (before I take it off, I would use a marking pen to outline where assembly goes to insure proper alignment when reassembling)
Thanks

I took the headlight cover and black shroud off.

I only removed the black shroud from the headlight when I did the metal gear replacement on mine.

This is what I did, shroud only. Get a couple of 10mm stubby wrenches or one stubby one ratcheting and you're good to go. 30 minute fix, hardest part for me was getting the electrical connector seated back on the clip attached to the body, had to access this from the bottom.

funny thing, the connectors is the one thing on the job I don't remember doing at all. I remember having a hell of a time breaking the arm loose from the motor, taking the motors inside, cracking the case open, grasping how/why one motor goes thru with the rod facing one way and the other the other way (and the instructions saying the driverside motor for 98+ is the passenger side for 93-91 and vice versa for the other motor), swapping out the gear including the rubber bumper, adding the grease, epoxying the case back together and using the t-brace when reinstalling and even the cracking sound when I bolted down the passenger motor, but no recollection of the harnesses (obviously I did as I fully removed the motors from the car and took them inside).
