hey i know this thread is a bit old, but has anyone tried this kit?

if so, just curious how successful everyone has been with it?
Also, what would this do to the value of the car?

Did mine from scratch. 95 probe motors used off ebay. Stock headlight switch, no controller, probe motors have 180deg limit switches. They work like a charm. Filed a notch for the actuator rod...

I did my headlight doors for about a hundred, wiper door about 50! Check the "mega thread" John 65 posted.

Same here. Works great, well built, and cheaper than off the shelf systems. I have installed Richards kit on 2 C3s now and not a single issue. Highly recommend it.
