Default mcspeed?

Im looking for the killer headlight conversion page from Mcspeed and only find his magazine page that tells me nothing.
Mcspeed use to have a good site.
I have his vacuum to electric headlight setup and need to review the wiring to the module diagram.

NEED HELP PLEASE

Chris has moved twice due to career advancements, and so is no longer making the headlight conversion....

I suggest following the wiring from whatever Firebird you got the control unit from....best I can say, as I went fixed headlights as he was still working on that kit when he lived down the road a few blocks here in Florida....

if you send me a email, I can get reminded and forward on to him.....

maybe he will send me a .jpg of the diagram, and I can save/copy/paste/forward to you.....

best I can do is try man....

Can you post all the info you have on the killer lights install, or PM me? I'll be doing the conversion for my next project on my vette, since I already have the killer lights brackets and Firebird Headlight actuators.

I made my own brackets off of the pics in the article, pretty easy to make if you have the motors.

This is a great upgrade, I'm glad I did mine while Chris was still in the business. Spend the extra money and get the new Firebird stuff, it's worth it.
