Default ECPB Electric Headlight KIt

Has anyone purchased and installed the ECPB electric headlight from Elite Custom Paint and Body out of LaFayette GA? They say the kit is a direct bolt on kit. The $999.00 price tag may scare most away. But for those who may have purchased it how was the installation and it's performance????

Not familar with them and hope not to be. Heck why not go for the gusto and make it an even grand. The system is not even worth what Mcspeed charges. I made my own.

I seen the display at Vette Fest this spring.They look pretty cool and really cleaned up the area in front of the radiator. I am like you it seems a little high priced. The system looks like it uses acuators from Dakota Digatal that pushes up the headlights. I guess if your vacuum system did not work and you did not care about being stock it would be a good replacement.Charlie

I used the actuators and control module out of a late firebird. Also the wire harness. Bent some aluminum brackets for the actuators. And used a C4 headlamp switch.
