Has anyone else had bad luck with the head lights on a TA or Firebird? I noticed this morning that I have another one burned out. This makes 4 in 3 years. I've tried Sylvania and GE lights and they seem to be about the same. Is it just me, or do the small head lights in these cars just not last very long? I gues I'm just trying to see if there is a problem with my car or if it's a common thing.

No problems with the headlights - there was some corrosion on the terminals when I pulled them once (to get to the horns), so I cleaned them and put them back in with bulb grease to keep them dry. Looks like the factory never did it.
I did have major problems with my front DRL/turn signals. Replaced each side a few times in a couple months, finally pulled them and replaced the whole assy. Bulbs had melted the sockets partially, and wouldn't seal out water. New parts from gmpartsdirect came with much better gaskets and should last longer. |
