Not sure if the headlight motor is croaked as well, but the other day something in the arm that actually moves the light assembly on the drivers side of the GTA let go. Its ghetto rigged with a zip tie now just to hold the light up so I can drive at night.  _________________ '88 Formula

| Hey, Jess, I have a complete, minus motor, drivers side headlight assembly. It's even black. Do you want the whole thing or just the little arm? |

| How much for the whole thing? It would be a lot easier (at least I think) to just replace the whole assembly rather than try and pull it apart and just change the arm. Now if the motor is toast, have to start looking for a new one. |

actualy that arm is cake to change while the assembly is in the car IIRC. in fact i think i had to remove it to get the motor out when my GTA was having issues.
BTW the only way the arm could realy be causing you trouble is if it fell off. if it is still attached and the light does not go up you have other problems. |

| The arm is broken where it connects to the motor. I have a zip tie holding the arm to the connection point. |

| Either way Jess. I have everything BUT the motor. If the arm just fell off I can pull that off and ship it easy enough. If you really want the whole thing, I've got that too. Let me know, I'll have Deb figure out some shipping. Price depends on what you want, just let me know. |
