Default Here's the video, and how to watch in full screen.

Thanks for making this video! Great to see the assembly and parts go together. It'll make dis-assembly and adjustment a lot easier for those who are looking to fix what's already in their car.

Thanks to those who found it on You Tube and posted the link. Here's the video



The 'full screen' option doesn't work from the forum page, so if you want to watch in full-screen mode, click the You Tube Logo on the lower right of the window - that will open the You Tube page. On that page find and click the 'gear' icon in the lower right group of icons in the video window, then select 720 or 1080 resolution, then click the 'full screen' icon on the lower right.

Enjoy!

The build is being featured in Auto Enthusiast magazine and RedDirtRodz.com. The Corvette has already been in Corvette Enthusiast and Corvette fever a couple of years ago. This is part 1 of the headlights project, showing the basic assembly.

Part II, which is coming soon, will show the installation process and have a cool trick feature, showing how to wire the headlights to automatically open and close with main headlight switch, no more pushing the button to the open and close, it will operate with just the headlight switch itself.

What do you guys think? Let me know.

Can't find the video for the headlite installation. It says it was moved. Would like to find it as I have a set of buckets in many pieces, hopefully all in the same box of loose parts.

Default C2 Headlight assembly video

I just returned from overseas and missed seeing your video. I clicked on the link and it is no longer there. Can you repost or send me a copy? My 63's headlights are very slow to react and then slow to come around. I don't know if you video will help that problem, but I know I need to pull and lube them. Thanks for your help!

I'm no great mechanic, but I found the 'removal' to be pretty easy and straight forward. Anywho, I found this article to be of help.

Headlamp Motor Replacement

I'm wanting to see a Youtube on how to Install. I assume it's just a reverse of the removal process, but I'm pretty sure there has to be a couple tricks to it as well.

Saint - This is the same ole video that been in this thread since creation. It shows how to build the headlight bucket, but does NOT show how to Install. He basically said that they would be posting that video soon. It's been a while and still Nada.
It'd just be helpful to the helpless (moi).
