Default Headlight Fogged Up

Hey guys,

My passenger side headlamp has built up condensation for whatever reason so I'm looking at getting a OE replacement.

Where can I get one? Thank you.

And if you're going to go ahead and change all your front end bulbs:

Front Turn Signal bulbs- 3457/3357
Fog Lights- 880
Front Signal Markers- 194

Pretty much available at any auto parts store. Good luck!

I'm talking about the whole glass headlight housing, i'm assuming this is what you guys are talking about.

Is there a difference between the parts store one or the GM one? Anyone have a part number?

The 1998-2002 Firebird has sealed beam headlights. The glass housing is the bulb.

GM used AC Delco bulbs. You might find them in a parts store. Other available brands are: Sylvania, GE, Wagner etc... I'd recommend Sylvania.

The part numbers are in my previous post.

An alternative to sealed beam housings is a conversion housing that allows you to use more modern smaller capsules (like most modern cars) instead of sealed beams (like most old cars). Basically its a glass housing that looks like the stock sealed beam, but takes a replaceable bulb like a 9005/9006 or H7. Here are some examples:
