This happened to me also. My problem was the plastic gear inside the motor had broken teeth. I bought brass gears and had both gears replaced. You may have blown a fuse also. The fuses are located under the hood on the drivers side. The owners manel or fuse panel will tell you the location of the fuses.

The headlights go up and down when you turn the headlights on. If they are not going up or down they may be disconnected from the motor. You would have to take the headlights out to see if they are disconnected or not.


Why headlights keep blowing out in a 1999 Firebird?

Same reason they do in mine -- its a crappy design -- Have you ever taken a light bulb and shook it? If you do it enough you will break the filament --- the lights on the Firebird Slam down with some pretty good force -- I tend to replace them about every 3 month because of that, sometimes you will find the socket came off as well


How do you change a blinker on a 2000 Pontiac Firebird?

- On the 4th Gen F bodies, Crawl under the car, where the turn signal is out- unscrew the 2 screws holding the bulb in and pull down the flap. Then remove the bulb and install in reverse order. Fogs can be changed from here as well. - You can also access the blinker bulbs through the headlights. Just flip headlights open but do not turn on. Once headlight is open you can unscrew and remove casing around the headlamp. You will be able to see both the blinker bulb and the fog bulb. This leaves you plenty of room to change bulbs.


Why can i not turn the corner lights on my 95 firebird on without the headlights flipping up?

This happens to me also in my 1996 Firebird. However, this didn't always happen until my driver side headlight motor (gear) started grinding - it needs to be changed. Are you having any abnormal sounds when you put your lights down? If so check into replacing the gears. http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/headlightfix/index.htm
