The operative bits are all GM parts, anyone with a few hand tools can make the brackets.

I think it was way over-priced, for less than $100 worth of small parts and a single weekend, %99 of all headlight problems can be solved, so why spending $1K+ in to that conversion?

That conversion was no where near $1k. It was mostly some brackets and you supplied the firebird motors to drive it.
There is one on the market that is around that price, though.

As mentioned in several other threads...

It's lighter.
They move faster.
It's less complicated.

No one needs to spend $1k on the setup, I think I have about $50 in parts in mine so far and I need to find one more left-hand Firebird motor.

I think I bought one of their last bracket kits back last July. Also, have the firebird actuators with arms that I picked up for $25. Still need to get a few more parts then I'll complete the install.

I have them and they work as advertised. Noisy when going up and down and had to replace the module recently.
