Hi friends.. Does anyone happen to know of a reputable website that sells 2000 Grand Am GT1 replacement headlights ? (the assembly; not bulbs)
Mine are cloudy, and I don't like the looks of them. I tried to find them on a Genuine GM Parts website, but it says to only enter a part number ...I don't know the part number of the entire headlight assembly.
Has anyone replaced their headlights... and where did you buy them ???

Many thanks.

Tommy

Try www.car-parts.com they are a used parts locator which should be alot less money than new ones as they run over $200 each.

a headlight assembly from the Dealer is expensive. If you dont find lamp housings on the site skibum1111 suggested, try a local auto body shop they usually can get them for cheaper then GM and they are new. Used ones are probley cloudy too.

Thanks for that info, xero.... I am leery to get one from a junkyard for that very reason; it will be cloudy too.
I sure wish pontiac would have made the headlight assemblies a higher quality than what they appear.
I guess I am not alone with cloudy headlights too... I think there are quite a few of us.
I do have a couple auto body shops locally, so I will definitely check into that. Thanks!

I think the biggest problem with the newer headlights is that they are made of plastic, which pits and scratches much much easier than the old glass ones.

Yes, definitely... The entire assembly is plastic. The lens should have been glass, I would think.
And those damn metal clips that have to lift upwards to take out the assembly; those are a nightmare to back in because everyhing has to align up properly for it all to fit.
I'll bet that even a pontiac service tech comments about that GM design.
I did some limited searching on some websites tonight, and I did locate some aftermarket stuff. Even those were running around $ 88.50 apiece for the assembly.
I'll search some more tomorrow; gotta hit the sheets here now and get up early tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for your replies and help !!!
