Did you ever buy this? I am going to order today as my stock stuff has failed.

 

I'm no expert but I have these units installed on my car. The Retro-Electros do not use any of the stock limit switches or relays or diodes. They are ideal for a non-RS car like yours that has the right equipment already, or they are fine for a true RS car, which mine was, but since I re-wired it as well it has no original headlight door wiring in place. Basically the doors get their power from a power source and they get their signal to open or close from the headlight wire itself (electricity present to light the headlight indicates that door should be open, lack of electricity means close). I think that I still have the instructions which I could scan and post if that would help you any.

 

I ordered a kit very similar to this and installed it this past summer. I am very happy with the results. My 68 was originally a standard model that i converted to a RS.

Thanks. I am ordering the retro electric kit.

 

Jackr, no I haven't ordered this yet, but it will be what I will use. I have called and talked with them and for me I believe it is the best buy for me and my car. It is not a true RS and therefore I think it will suit me well.

 

It's an easy install. My car wasn't a RS originally either. The only issue i had was that the right headlight door motor kept running when it was already fully open. Against the advice of the manufacturer, and being an electrician by trade, i opened the controller and figured out that the dip switches for the right motor weren't in the correct sequence. Basically, the controller uses an amperage based relay that opens once the amperage reaches a specific setting...i.e. when door fully opens or closes against rubber bump stops. Good luck and i highly recommend it.

I have the retro electric on my 67. They far better than anything out there. I have the DSE electric motors on my 69, and the retro motors are significantly better. They are well worth the money, and about as simple to wire as you could ask for.

 

Ordered the kit. Wanted to do that for a while. Thanks all. The DSE kit compared to this one is a no brainer.

 

And I don't think that the DSE kit works on 67s? At least they don't advertise it as such....

 

Jake - Who made the parking lamps? I assume they are LED and switch between white parking and yellow turns?

 

Hi Brian. They're JDM Astar 3030 led switchbacks. I didn't have a good ground to them during mock up hence the flickering between the two. I have corrected it and they work awesome now. They were a few dollars cheaper and eligible for Prime when I bought them last summer. I replaced most of my lights with led. Front running lights, front and back markers, all interior, license plate, and reverse. I plan on ordering the sequential tail lights after the car is painted. I love them. Below is a crappy video I took after I installed the new American Autowire Classic Update wiring kit.

Two thumbs up for the Retro Electric Kit... on my 67
Easy install... I put mine in when re-wiring the entire car. Sure was nice getting rid of all of the limiting switches, relays, and associated wiring.. The worked the first time.. and every time!
