more firebird headlight problems
more firebird headlight problems okay it has come time for me to figure out my firebird headlight problems.
My first problem is my right headlight doesnt go up or down unless i do it manually, im assuming this is the gear, where do i get a replacement?
My second problem is my left headlight works fine but it goes up when i put my parking lights on? could this be a bad switch?
My third problem is when i turn my lights off and the left headlight goes down it makes a horrific grinding noise when it gets closed and lasts for about 10 seconds, again could this be the gear?
thanks alot guys

2 might be due to the gear, but not sure...
It's so easy even I can do it!
That sir is most likely your turn signal switch going bad. i had a similiar situation where when my lights were on my right rear brake light didnt work. replaced the switch and it works like a charm now.

I've heard the same thing and am having the same exact problems as you...I work at O'Reilly Auto Parts, and I ordered new gears, but I forgot to check to see if they were brass or plastic, I'm off today, but will stop by to check and I'll let you know if they are. If so, I'll give you the part number.
Why brass? But, IMHO, once you replace your gear and dried up grease, it'll be another 10 - 15 years before you have this problem again - just trying to save you some $$$.

And all 3 problems will be fixed with new gears.
