Those plastic Wagner sealed HLs were to save weight to put less strain on the nylon gears in the actuators...i made the mistake of "upgrading" to Sylvania HLs that were glass and in short order had to replace the actuators, though, they do sell brass gears so they can be rebuilt.
@VetteSource

Very cool. I wasn't sure why they went to the plastic housings, but that makes sense. The problem with the brass gears is that they will destroy the plastic drive gear pellets over time. These headlight motors were definitely finicky pieces and had to almost have the perfect weight and balance to last long term.

Gene, thanks for the input. After posting the video I had several comments like yours from owners that had the Mobil 1 emblem on their 96 hood. Since I have known my 96 LT4 since it arrived at the dealership on the transport truck, I knew that it never had the emblem, so I figured they had left it off all the 96's. However I acquired an early production (one of the first 2000 cars built) 96 LT4 yesterday, and there was the Mobil 1 emblem on the hood. After doing some research last night, it appears the early 96's must have had the emblem installed. The earliest car I found without the emblem was in the low 4000 VIN range. I am going to keep looking for VIN's in the 3000 range and see what I find. Will keep you updated if you have an interest.

The 90-93 interior is interchangeable with 94 -96, I know because I changed put most of the 94 -96 interior in my 91 coupe, and mostly due to the white lettering that looked right with the white body. However, some interchangeability will depend upon specific options, as sometimes a few dummy lights won't work. Not only have I done this to mine, but to several others where I could mix & match most of the stuff, from dash pads, vents, gauges, switches, seats door panels, climate controls, etc etc. The radio /climate control bezels aren't interchangeable between these groups, unless you are changing the main dash pad, or even complete dash assembly

Hey Jim, I have been hearing that from a few other owners of 88's and 89's. I am going to dig a little further and see if I can figure out what year they started changing them over. Thanks for the comment👍

Hmmmm... My 96 has the Mobile 1 emblem up there. Mine must be aftermarket; as I feel it is far more likely that someone added that sticker to mine than peeled it off yours lol.
@VetteSource
3 жыл бұрын
Yep, definitely possible. Corvette enthusiasts like to add emblems or other such markers to personalize their cars. Of course, it's also possible you have an earlier hood on your car. Easy way to check is look at the inner fender wells on the hood. If they are riveted in place, that is definitely a 96 hood. The earlier hoods have them bolted in with T30 torx fasteners like the lower inner fenders.

Interesting. I have been getting some feedback that they did seem to appear on some of the earlier cars, but not consistently. I wonder if it was the supplier beginning to phase them in. Personally I have never run across any of them on the 94 and 95 cars I have dismantled for parts over the years.

Hey Mike, good morning. I have seen some of the earlier cars with the glass lenses. I think that GM stopped producing the plastic lenses due to them melting, and began offering only the glass lenses for replacement. It may be that 88 was the first year they were installed on the assembly line. Thanks for the info👍

Thanks for the comment. You are correct, all of the 95's should have it. After doing some further research this week, it looks like they stopped putting the Mobil 1 emblems between VN#'s 3500-4200 in 1996. I just acquired an early build (21st day) Aqua Metallic 1996 LT4 and was surprised to see the Mobil 1 sticker under the hood. You can see the car here - kzitem.info/news/bejne/wIqruHucsaOFnmk

There will be a white label in the driverside door jamb that lists the date of production. Also take a look at the last five digits of the VIN. That will be the build number of your car. There were a little over 20,000 Corvettes built that year, so you can tell how early or late it was produced by that number.
