Pls, is there any Hamber who could send me a drawing or an idea of how I shall procedure to built the device? I mean one by using an electrical engine and gears. Thks.
Yeah, and it was kind of a pain to try to crank the passenger side light which was located on the far side of the dash while traveling down the highway at dusk. The buckets themselves were pretty straight forward. Basically on a single hinge. If you are making them electric, the only thing you need to do is make sure the cover looks right when shut and that you can adjust the lamp correclty when the light is open. You wouldn't share anything with a 810 unless you went mechanical - but see my first paragraph.
Find some electric seats, and you would probably have a good start on the gears and cables you would need to improvise and adapt...........Just need to weatherproof the electrics,(motor).
The guys that build Daytona and superbird clones use either vacuum pots or electric motors. Here's one thread, for example... http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=94bcdfede2b890c3bc2c0374726f504f&topic=58235.0
Thank you all who have given me a good help to learn about both vacuum and electric pop up headlamps devices. Thank you very much, Hambers !
http://mcspeed.homestead.com/our_products.html Heres a link to a company that makes a kit to convert mid 70's corvettes from vacum to electric headlite motors.. The key ingredient is the module. It senses the amperage increase when the motor drives the headlites to their stops. Then it shuts off power. The rest is just linkage arms and mechanical stops.
