Headlight Actuator Relays ?
Any thoughts on where to buy these relay's. Mine are leaking vaccume , I priced them around and the prices are all over the place .
Wilcox has them for $ 33.95 on their site , has anyone used these and if so how did they work out . CC wants $ 59.95 , GM ones are way out there , is there a difference ?
Regards Bill

Hi 63,
Willcox has a very good reputation.
I think you're safe buying from them and if you have a problem they'll replace your defective relay.
It's sad to say but the quality of the parts available for the wiper and headlight systems isn't very good. SO you really don't know what you're going to be getting.
For this reason people (like Roger) are putting more and more effort into rebuilding the original parts.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
When there's a great difference in price it's usually because of where in the world the parts being made.
I bought a GM relay; it was as ugly as sin... but works.
