DSE C2 Electric Headlight Door Kit (1963 - 1967 Chevrolet Corvette) - 122008
Give your C2 Corvette's signature hidden headlights smoother, more reliable operation with the Detroit Speed 122008 C2 Electric Headlight Door Kit. Engineered specifically for 1963 - 1967 Chevrolet Corvette applications, this system replaces the original electric headlight actuators and heavy, failure-prone factory motors with a modern electronically controlled system. The result is synchronized headlight door operation without having to separately operate the doors with the problematic factory momentary switch.
Detroit Speed designed the 122008 around current-sensing technology, creating a headlight door system that requires no adjustment. Once installed, the control module automatically actuates the headlight doors when the headlights are turned on or off. Just as important for a valuable C2 Corvette, installation requires no cutting, drilling or other permanent vehicle modifications, and there are no holes or spliced wires left behind. That means the Corvette can be returned to its original configuration later if desired. The complete kit includes two electric actuators, control module, wiring harness, mounting brackets and installation hardware.
