I just purchased the RS closing headlight kit for my 69 convertible. Today I read in Popular Hot Rodding about a camaro where they removed all the hydraulics and switched over to an electric mechanism. Does anybody know anything about this? And am I asking this question in the right section? Thanks.

Check out this thread, we are discussing it right now

Thanks, did I post this in the wrong section? I wasnt' sure.

Really couldn't tell you that. I would've put it in Camaro Tech, but the moderator could tell you more.
Hope that link helps,

;)
Kinda hard to say whether headlights would be body, or electrical, or plain tech! I'd have to say body, but what do I know?

well joe, being that you are the moderator, i would say that you know a little more than us little ol posting demons that keep you up all nite re-arranging. LOL
I love this site and dont want to cause the guys that bring it to you too much heartache.

There is a guy selling plans for it on Ebay. He has pictures and details for using either motors from a 87-90 Lebaron or early 90's New yorker. Give me a day or two and I will email you the info I bought from him. (hmmm it is mine now... I guess it is legal as long as I am not trying to make anything from it.) Yeah... Thats my story and I am sticking with it..

I will post the stuff here... Maybe tomorrow. I will scan all the text and pictures.

Later...

Semper Fi!

xtremdude , i would like to see those plans also.

I got really busy... Sorry I will get them on my Camaro's Site.. So you can get the text and the pictures. Hopefully Tomorrow.. But I am on it...

The information is on my Site on page 2... Take a look. It sounded very feasible to me. I have not had a chance to get the motors and make the conversion. But I have a junk yard where I know I can get them.

Let me know what you all think.

Great Info, thanx.

Great Info, thanx.

No Problem... Let me know what you think of the details in the directions?

I appreciate it. My Camaro is not RS but I want to change it to RS. Do I have to weld brackets onto the fenders or what is the procedure? I have a factory assembly book. So I can telll what I need.

Thanks for any info.. Glad to help out.

Thanks a bunch.... I appreciate it...

I have converted my RS headlights on my 69. I have some pic's and it's not that hard nor complex. And works a ton better with some options in the operation of the doors. If you'd like to get more info. just drop me a IM or Mail (mogmiler@aol.com)
