82 corvette head lights

Does anyone know if there is a conversion kit to turn my vaccume driven head lights into a motor driven set up.

Yes...one of my customers has it on his 1977. They work but seem to me...to be a bit un-attractive....and could use some dampening with rubber stops so it is not so "clanky" sounding. I doubt that he would know where they came from...due to he bought the car that way ( already converted)

And for what it is worth...the cost of changing over the system may be more costly than fixing what you have...if your system is complete now. Running wire harness, drilling holes, mounting relays, etc....not including setting up the motors to your actuator supports could be labor intensive

thanks for the response, mine are definitly not working and i was looking to see if it would be a cheap conversion but it looks pricey. I think i will be looking into fixing the vaccume system. Was hoping to clean up under the hood by getting rid of the canisters and vaccume lines.

I'm converting mine to electric. I already have all the parts I need. Just need the time to do it. When I get my old vacuum parts out, which are all pretty much new/ barely used, I'll be selling them.
