Practical tips for best results

Before installation, disconnect the vehicle’s battery and carefully remove the headlight assemblies to access the actuators. Inspect the mounting points and wiring harness for any wear or corrosion, and replace any wiring pins if necessary to ensure a solid electrical connection. After installation, manually test the headlight operation to confirm both sides raise and lower in harmony, then re-secure the assemblies and recheck alignment on a level surface. If you notice misalignment, recheck mounting hardware and linkage alignment to preserve the iconic Corvette look.

Delivering the reliability and period-correct performance your C3 Corvette deserves, this LH & RH headlight actuator kit is a practical, long-lasting solution for keeping those pop-up headlights functioning and looking their best.
