Default C3 Headlamp Conversion Kit

Hello,
I’ve searched this forum but haven’t found my exact issue. As a noob on my first project car I could really use some help. I bought a 76 with this kit, a corvette mods dot com headlamp conversion kit, already installed. I don’t think any prior owner has ever gotten the headlamps to come up. I don’t have the instruction manual as my seller didn’t have it. Both units look new.

anyways, I replaced the fuse on this unit and got the drivers side headlamp to come up as it is wired to the headlamp switch on the drivers side dash. Score! However, the passenger side is not working. The passenger side unit has an additional wire that the drivers side doesn’t have. Both male ends of the plug work on the drivers side Headlamp so power is getting there. I called corvette mods and emailed them and requested an instruction manual or pdf of the manual to no avail. Is there a way I can test the passenger side unit or those wires? Any advice to get that passenger side working. Sorry if this is hard to understand, I’m learning as I go.

Outcome

Passenger side unit doesn’t work

Passenger side unit doesn’t work

Drivers side unit works

I believe this is the kit that was installed due to the wiring and the red **** at the bottom of the unit

Those look like Mazda Miata or Ford probé motors. Contact Forum member Richard454. He sells a kit similar to those and he maybe able to give you some idea on the wiring.

Good morning and thank you. As luck would have it, Richard reached out to me on the forum last night offering to help. I’ll be sure to post the issue once I get it working.
