firebird headlights

What is the best way to keep the headlights from freezing closed in the winter for a 99 firebird that is parked outside ? This is my daughters car, thats in Ohio. No garage is available to her.

Re: firebird headlights

you need to keep water/moisture out of the mechanism. so a car cover is the only thing i can think of.

Re: firebird headlights

Use some grease on the arm which moves the lights up and down. This would make sure the water won't sit and freeze things up.

I've never had a problem, even in Canada, just have to let it warm up for a few minutes...
