Corvette C3 Headlight Opening Conversion Kit
The Corvette C3 comes standard with a vacuum-operated retractable headlight opening system. Over time, this system deteriorates: the hoses weaken, the seals wear out, and vacuum leaks become inevitable, resulting in headlights that open poorly, too slowly, or not at all. This kit provides a definitive and modern solution by completely replacing this pneumatic mechanism with a 100% electric system.
What you gain:
- Reliable and fast headlight opening, even with the engine off.
- Elimination of all faulty pneumatic components (pumps, hoses, actuators)
This kit includes the electric actuators, aluminum mounting plates, wiring, and a plug to seal off the vacuum.
The installation requires some disassembly and modification. You can find a complete tutorial for the installation
here or as a PDF file
here.
