Thank you Richard! I will be ordering my set from you next week.
The company Headlight Motor works out of Jacksonville, Florida
Great job Rich, these lights have always had issues and I'm guessing you're an engineer that sat down and said, there has to be a better way!!
Great vid Richard im sure I wont have a problem it looks like a simple kit. Thanks for the deal you gave me on the pair I got off ebay last night.
excellent product and very well presented, thank you for showing us...
Are these power open power close or power open spring close?
My headlight Miata motors you sold me 3 years ago just click now. Good relay. They also fail the bench test. I didn't use them for 2 years while I rebuilt motor and didn't drive at night till yesterday. Do you have a wiring link. Red yellow trigger and black chassis ground and ran a 12v to the alternator so I know I have 12.8v but both triggers on one just click and other one only yellow clicks ... Testing with 18g wire. Is there a trick to unsticking them? I tried to manually turn them and one worked manually .. one I lost the plastic knob so used a ratchet and the damn pot metal thing on bottom broke off with maybe 15lbs torque... Maybe they got wet or something? Any assembly disagrams of the MOTOR to open and clean?
The 12v I have going to the white and pink striped wire green is and never has been connected
Hmmm- if you connect the opening of the headlights to the parking lights- What happens when you turn on the flashers???
Richard Hayes hey yeah great question!!! I didn’t even think about that.
The side fender/marker light NOT the parking light. The side fender/marker light does not blink when the flashers are on, only the parking light and the taillights
68-79 The side parking light is ONE filament (168)- the grill light is dual filament (1157). They both share the same ground, When you use the turn signals the side PARKING lights do flash.
Sorry they do blink, however like you said the side marker likes have two wires that run to them (power & trigger). When power is supplied that’s what would feed the headlight motors to open up. The trigger wire is for the blinkers. Therefore as long as the the light switch is on giving power to the lights the motor will keep the headlights open
Just like the E-brake light in the gauges has two wires (pink & tan). The bulb has a pink wire that supplies power at all times, the light only comes on when the tan wire (negative trigger) is engaged by pulling the e-brake handle.
@@lclaw4233 Hmmm- my 73 (owned for 6 years) and my 71 (owned for 40-since high school) BLINK- flash what ever-turn signal AND hazard.. If you turn on the hazards- the headlights will jump up and down. I'm a little knowledgeable about the electric headlight conversions. Have been selling hundreds for the past 6 years. You are welcome to visit my channel. The parking wire is dark brown-FWIW. The emergency brake light has two possible ground points- tan wire at the console AND under the hood at the master cylinder- the pink wire (gauge fuse) is powered during ignition and start- but not during acc. Look at the rear lights- you have two filaments bulbs. Parking AND brake light share the SAME filament. So when the parking lights are on- how does the the brake light become brighter. Yep- it has two sources of power.
new cell phone number to reach me is 717-383-8154
VERY INFORMATIVE THANKS
You need to adjust the volume up or re record it
i would love to someday rip the jugular out of the engineer who thought vacuum headlights was a great idea...
he probably crashed and died in his because he was driving up a mountain at dusk and he didn't have enough vacuum for headlights to open... lol
