Default Headlight and Window Motors

Hey guys, before I purchase... I wanted to check with you on what models or places are the best to order from?

Need to replace my '84 headlight and window motors.

TIA

-Wes

I would upgrade the window regulators to the later style. More reliable and faster. Pretty easy upgrade. Same with the headlights, swap to the later style and install the headlight control module. The old style motors are available new but pretty expensive. A lot of used early model motors out there but it's hard to determine reliable of used motors. Later motors rely on the control module to reverse voltage/current, early models rely on 3 relays and contacts in the motors to reverse operation. Do some searching on these upgrades. It's worth doing since you're going to be spending money on it.
