Re. the left headlight...you can rebuild it, find a replacement from an '84-86, or replace the whole system with a GEN 2 harness, motors, and controller from an '87-'88 car. My suggestion is to replace the system. I replaced the system on all three of my '86 Fieros (2 GT's, 1 SE) and haven't regretted it at all. Takes about 3-4 hours if it's your first time and about half that if you've done it before. Instructions are to be found in FAQs and How To section of the forum.
The good thing about the GEN 2 set up is motors are still to be had. You can buy cheapies on ebay or get them from Summit Racing, Rock Auto, or the Fiero Store. Yoou also might find them at the local auto parts store since they are the same as the 89-92 Firebird. The solid state modules are getting hard to source but the module from a C4 corvette works. They are getting rare and pricey, too so I have a spare for the future.

Thank you, I appreciate the information and where to get the parts!
