Default 86 headlight module?

for the life of me I can't find the headlight module? I was under the impression that 84-04 had a headlight module but on this 86' I can't find the darn thing. In the LH front inner fender I only find 3 relays with a cover? am I missing something here or did 84-87 not have these? HELP! I'm at my witts end trying to find this thing.

'84-'87 uses the relays that you found. '88-'96 uses a module.

The kit is no longer available new. Here is a link that has a pdf of instructions. http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette...1-249-834.html

I haven't done the conversion yet - just bought a '93 hood with headlights and module.

Are you convinced that you really need the retrofit kit? What's wrong with yours?
