Electric, Gauges, & Lights / Re: Which headlight door conve...

Last post by Mopar Nut - Today at 03:42:01 AM

Hi,

I'm finally done screwing around with my vacuum operated headlight doors on my 68. I'm going to get an electric conversion kit. The question is...which one is the best?

The one from Classic industries?
The one from Herb's Parts?
Or
The one from Headlightmotorman....

I'm intrigued by headlightmotorman A) for the price, and B) for the smaller actuators.

Let me know your experiences with any of these please!

Which kit did you end up going with?

Thanks for all the ideas and opinions!

I was planning to use a pair of Hella H4 bulbs and housings (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005OULOJ2/?coliid=IUIB7EX6RK8BM&colid=D3LZ038VXS2N&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it) for low beam and high beam and a pair of Hella H1 bulbs and housings (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G76Q9K/?coliid=IIC9DFQ6ZE3IN&colid=D3LZ038VXS2N&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it) for high beam only.

But, it seams like it would be just as easy to run all four lights at H4's.  what are your thoughts on running 4 low beams and 4 high beams?  is that legal?

Also, i'm planning to install the electric headlight actuator kit from Headlightmotorman.com.  So, building my own harness is probably the best thing to do so that everything is together.

Any additional ideas or opinions is appreciated!

My '70 RT is set up like that.
I'm not sure why or who did it.
It passed inspection when it was first registered in Australia though.

Jump in and out 12V with a fuse.

How do I bypass the resistor? Running on high is fine with me

Not sure if that is a good idea, bypassing the resistor block permanently might overheat the motor.

Looking at the wiring diagram, it appears that there is some resistance even in the high mode...IOW, it never runs at full 12V.

Google H4 headlight pattern and see. High beam throws light higher than low beams pattern. (Could blind oncoming drivers.)
