The absence of instructions for the 1982 electric headlight conversion was a bit disappointing. Moreover, the instructions available online are for different brands, each with slight variations. Other brands may include a control knob/module/relay installed parallel to the headlight control, but this particular conversion kit lacks that feature. Instead, it requires a relay that needs a constant +12V and a switched +12V with the headlight. This means you have to locate a wire that provides +12V for both the high and low beams; otherwise, the relay will close if the wire only supplies +12V for either light source. Consequently, you can't turn the lights off while leaving the headlights up, unless you manually unplug the relay with the headlights in the up position. This will turn the lights off but keep the motors engaged.

One modification I had to make involved cutting some metal from my mounting bracket. The 1982 actuators are designed to mount to four bolt holes around a center hole that accommodates the actuator rod. However, this conversion kit requires a lollipop-shaped hole, which consists of a round hole with a straight slot on one end. The straight slot allows the rotational actuator rod to move. As a result, I had to remove a portion of the mounting frame/bracket to create the necessary space.

Fortunately, the electric actuators came with a sturdy bracket that bridges the area where I made the modifications, effectively reinforcing it. However, it's worth noting that these changes deviate from the original stock configuration.

Working in this tight space can be challenging, so it's advisable to have the appropriate tools for removing material.

Overall, I genuinely appreciate these electric actuators as they provide a much-needed upgrade, enhancing reliability and offering a modern touch and feel. However, it's important to note that the installation process took longer than expected, likely exceeding three hours and possibly doubling that timeframe if unexpected issues arise.

Anyway, it works.
