If you wanna pay a $1,000 dollars go for it. That's a huge waste of money in my opinion.

I have to agree with Mr.Lous, There is alot of things you could do custom but certain things have to stay so the car keeps its charector

Well my front left headlight just started acting up. When I turn on the lights, everything is fine; The head light go up and turn on. When I turn my lights off, they go down; But the left headlight motor continues to run after it is down all the way. I have looked the best I can to see if there is anything in the way. It is completely down! The motor runs (very loudly) for about 5 seconds before it shuts off. But whenever I use my keypad to lock or unlock the doors the lights go up and down and it makes the noise. I am assuming the reason the lights are going up and down is because the car gives power to the parking lights. And since the car thinks the lights are not down it trys to close them; Just like they close when you turn your parking lights off.
I was just looking for a solution to the headlight problem. It seems that the headlights on these cars are always having trouble.

your headlight motor is out...which is a common problems on our cars. I suggest checking out ebay to find the brass gears which you put in the original motor..this will solve your problem. If you dont want to do this you can go to your local GM dealer and they can get you an OEM replacement. Good luck...either way you do it it will save you 100's of dollars over those custom headlights you showed us

Ok, I checked out e-bay. The only thing I found was this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1993-2003-FIREBIRD-TRANS-AM-HEADLIGHT-MOTOR-GEAR_W0QQitemZ8017278901QQcategoryZ6763QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem
Is that the right one? You said brass, I dont want to buy a cheap plastic peice that will break if I really need something stronger.

theres also a section at the bottom of that site on how to fix your problem for 4th gen and 3rd gen birds. i know for a fact the 4th gen one works and others in here say the 3rd gen works also. the 4th gen way wont cost you any money just a little bit of your time.
