No, I haven't tried it yet. My vaccum lights work gerat right now, but if they ever go on the blink I am going to try this kit. It's had good revirews.

The cost to make this conversion is more expensive than to rebuild what you have.
The benifits are reducing numerous vacuum leaks. And about 25 ft of vacuum hose. Plus a cleaner look under the hood. I have built this system in my 73 and they work great. I have the stock system in my 77 and they work great. They both accomplish the same thing, open the headlamp door. Just at a diffrent at a diffrent rate of speed.

If your running a radical cam,the headlights actually go up and down with the Killer Headlight system. I'm putting it in. Otherwise the stock system is fine.
