just wondering if anybody knows whats going on with the trans am low beam headlamp part number 4703 i had a real hard time finding one at autozone and orileys today. the ones i went to had non in stock and the system with 0 in system. i got lucky when they found one for me in the backroom which was not even in their system. goob thing they had good customer service. but just wondering whats going on with that part number dont want to go through the trouble i went through today again.

 

I just bought one the other day. I had a bit of a hard time finding it, but it wasn't too bad. I bet that's the only car those headlamps fit too. There's another headlamp similar to it (4701 i believe), but it won't work because the pins aren't offset the same where it plugs in. same size, just won't plug in

 

I bought all four of mine from Autozone a couple months ago, didn't have any trouble though. I hope they aren't gonna make them hard to get, but knowing my luck they will.

 

the guy at autozone said something about they might have discontinued it, because no autozones around the dallas area had 4703's . so i went to Orileys and thats were i got lucky n they found one in the back but i had to go to two orileys cuz they also didnt have them in stock

 

that sounds like a major pain in the ***... sucks to hear, how could they discontinue something like that though? just cause pontiac is no longer alive doesnt mean people dont drive trans am's anymore... thats b/s...

 

Hell I found out the other day that GM has discontinued the driver side quarter panel for 93-02 Camaros. The passenger side is still produced and both sides for the firebird. Go figure.

 

i found 2 at my autozone...but at first i bought one and later that day went to orielys and they didnt have any..so went back to autozone and got the last 1 that was there...i got the slyvania ones the H4703 they are the little brighter ones but ya they didnt have a big selection maybe they are going out

 

The autozones I frequent usually have 2 of each in stock.
I had 3 sets of Wagner's Lows and Highs couple months ago I was trying to get rid of.
I shoulda held onto them!!
Btw- birds are not the only ones to use those lights. A couple 80s Chevy trucks, and I think an early 90s GMC Suv used them as well. Or some combo like that. lol.

 

i seriously doubt they are discontinued... they might just keep minimal stock due to the age of the vehicles (scary that 4th gens are now 10+ years old). i bet the regional hub store will have them in stock if you're willing to drive. amazon's cross refrence list shows 275 applications for these

i see them for sale on amazon (i know that doesnt help if you have a light out today and dont want to wait for them to ship.)

if thats the case then i would but a set for when your lights do go out and then just be able to replace, cause as we all know there will be some dick head cop out there that will give you **** cause he thought you were racing cause your light was out... lol jk but no he will prob give you a friggin ticket for it

 

I certainly hope not.

 

They do fit more applications like blazers, c10, G series vans. Saw two of each at my local Advance Auto. I don't think they move/sell that often hence the auto parts keep minimal stock. On a side note.... I've gone a little over three years with one of my high beams having a hole in the front part of it.... it looks faded, has had water, dust and who knows what else in there.... and its still going strong!!! Granted, I get to use high beams very rarely! I am just saying that these lights might not go out that quick and thats why they don't sell that often causing replacements to be hard to find in stock.

 

I've had to replace my two front parking/turn signal indicator sockets, bulbs, and housings. lol.

 

Agh id just get a hid kit from my fellow asian person he always keeps stock of everything lol.
