Default Headlight Conversion?
I was wondering if there was a headlight conversion out there for the vettes to convert vacuum controlled lights to electric. Anybody got any ideas? I'm missing half my vacuum system and there is no point in buying all the parts when the vacuum system is so outdated.

Do a search, I believe firebird electric headlight motors work. If I find the conversion site I will email you. John

There is a guy that builds kits for this conversion. It utilizes the firebird, or C4 electric motors. Here is a link to his website: http://www.mcspeed.homestead.com/Our_Products~ns4.html
