While working on my C3 Pro Street Corvette Convertible I decided to try out the electric head light conversion kits since the newest engine was never going to make the vacuum needed to run the stock style head lights.

After buying the kit off Ebay and getting it I realized there was zero instructions and a google search was full of silly 20 min videos that take longer to watch than the actual install takes. So I decided to do a short blog on how the install goes.

The install is very simple and straight forward if your use to working on C3 corvettes.

Step one: Take out the old vacuum system including the canisters, vacuum switches between the headlights, hoses, and so on.

Step two: Cut this section out with a cut off wheel.

Step three: Mount the new actuators, pin, and springs.

Step four: Adjust the length of the actuator rod to the correct height to raise and lower the headlights the whole way. You might have to adjust the factory headlight stop to keep the headlights flush with the body when closed.

Step five: Mount the relay out of the way, attach the ground to either the core support or horn ground bolt.

Step six: Hook the red wire to the alternator main wire.

Step seven: Run the blue wire in to the car and attach it to the feed wire for the high/low beam switch on the floor on 1976 and early and on the column on 1977 and later corvettes.

Step eight: Make sure everything works.
