Title: Power Grille Actuators?
Post by: 69chargerboy on March 02, 2007, 12:12:27 PM
Does anyone know if anybody tried using any type of power actuators instead of vacuum actuators for the grille headlights? And if so, what type of actuators were used? Thanks.

I would also like to know what electric actuators will work for a 68 dodge charger. the links that norway charger posted no longer work.

You must have a 2" stroke.

do you have a video of the actuators working on your lights?  i am definitely going to copy your move here!  Did you run it to work with your original light switch or what?...

I did use a standard GM switch  :o
A friend of mine made some relays for controlling the actuators.
When i switch on and off the lights, the actuators works.
