1984-1986 Fiero and 1982-1986 Firebird Headlight Rebuild Parts

Headlight Gears:

aluminum Gear

(Hard Anodized Aluminum shown)

 

Replacement precision CNC machined hard anodized aluminum headlight gears for the 1984-1986 Pontiac Fiero and the 1982-1986 Firebird. Each new CNC machined hard anodized aluminum replacement gear includes 4 Viton rubber bumpers.

These Viton rubber bumpers are a much more durable replacement for the OEM green polyurethane bumpers which had a high failure rate. Includes 8 screws and nuts to reassemble the case.Includes a packet of silicone grease.

This grease will not dry out like the grease that was originally used. I believe they did not use this type of grease because of the high cost of this product. It is a much better lubricant.  Rebuilding instructions included.

One gear, and 4 bumpers are needed per headlight.

Special note: There is an early version of this headlight motor used in the early Firebirds (82 and up) that uses a plastic intermediate gear like the one pictured. GM seems to have realized early on that this was a failure prone design and upgraded it to a steel gear early on. If you have this type of headlight motor the parts do not interchange. No one offers a replacement steel intermediate gear at this time and possibly never will as it would be very difficult to manufacture. I have some good used steel intermediate gears on hand for $21.00 and that includes shipping. This will allow you to use the hard aluminum gear I offer in your early style headlight motor. Contact me at rodney@rodneydickman.com for availability. You will not know what type of gear is in your headlight motor until you open it up. The early style is very rare though.
