Default C3 Electric Headlight conversion kit?

I recently read an article called 'Vacuum Sucks!' in the August 2004 Volume 28 No.8 pages 22 thru 30 of Vette magazine about an electric conversion kit using parts from a fourth generation Firebird electric actuator system to replace the vacuum system on the C3 shark. The kit is called The McSpeed Killer lights kit designed by Chris McDonald of McSpeed performance www.mcspeed.com. It sounds great.. no more slow rising lights... both raise at the same time and retract together. My question is has anyone on here converted or are (like me) considering converting to this setup? My lights have to have manual assistance (me) every time I want to use them. Well, anyways... check out McSpeeds webpage for details or check out the article in Vette magazine and let me know.

Thanks

Rob

Mc speed is a forum member. He posts in C3 as well. Posted details of the conversion here first. search for threads with c3 headlight motors in it.
