Killer Lights or whole new system?
I bought my '71 a few years back and it has the Monza style cut out fixed lights. I'd like to go back to the original pop-ups but I have absolutely NADA of the original system. No lights, buckets, vacuum hoses, actuators, nothing. I know I'm going to have to hit some junk yards for parts but which would be cheaper - getting buckets and lights and going the Killer Lights route with electric motors or trying to replace the whole vacuum light system? Thanks!

Even if you take the killer lights route, you have to get the original buckets, covers, bushings and most of the hardware, so If you are considering the cost, I would recommend buying a complete original units and a pair of vacuum relays (used, ebay .. etc) and you'll be ready to go and for less cost than getting all the hardware and then buying the killer lights kit (which is expensive already). just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I'm looking around at headlight assemblies now. Yikes they're expensive! Bubba decided to replace the front clip on my Vette and he got rid of a lot of stuff - like A/C, the original lights, wiper cover, etc. Ain't it fun?
