That frys them plus replace all(every single one) bulbs with non-canbus LED's. Canbus draws the same amperage as the incandescent bult. It would do zero good if replaced them with canbus bulbs.
Oh and dont plug the vacuum in backwards on the factory headlight switch or it will leak massively. It can only seal in one direction. I dont think it matters on the bypass switch. But i dont remember on the bypass forsure. You better test that one(its easy)..
Hey Guys, I jusr wanted to say, excellent job on the instructional video, each step was easy to see and the instructions were clear and matched the visuals, great work, if everyone put this much thought into DIY video, we all be pros, thanks.

I don't know, I have replaced my 'knock off' Chinese vacuum motors and control valves twice and the headlight switch once on my C3. I gotta bet I have better than $300.00 keeping this crap working over the years. This has caught my eye. I might give it a shot next time.
Did you guys really upload this video with the audio sounding like this? I hear generic music playing but I also hear what almost sounds like someone talking underwater in the background.
Is this going to be more or less the same for my 66 vette? Got the kit last year but have not got around to doing the job yet...I am getting to it soon so I want to be sure there is a how to I can reference

I would have done the wiring completely different. Why have to take the dash off to do this when you have all the feeds at the lights? Seems a lot of extra work.
Our harness was designed to be a plug and play kit that connects at the headlight switch connector to properly operate both the parking light and headlight functions.

We don't offer a kit that is a direct fit for the Caprice, but we have heard of customers adapting our headlight kits for the caprice. Give our sales team a call at (704) 662-3272 for more information!
a very very stupid idea...and a waste of money and time... the original vaacum system was simply perfect: no battery need, no motors, no wiring, no switches etc etc...
$939 before shipping … hopefully that saves someone time. This should be a $150 dollar part
yeah it should be cheaper but it kinda be considered essential vacuum systems are acient tech at this point
@@Parleyposadajr2248 this is a GM part not a Porsche tho lol
Install a 12v relay and you should never have to replace it again. Since it is the heat up inside the compact area in the dash with no circulati on

@@detroitspeed what is the part number of the kit that you're installing

Detroit Speed, Inc. updated part number for the C3 version is 122009
Is it a copper or plastic worm gear? If it’s plastic it will break long before a refurbished vacuum system.
Old vid but why not power the motors from a relay fed from the headlight power wires ?
Why not put the entire lighting system on 3or4 12v relays?
It seems expensive for two doorman motors !!

What is the labor for install the converson kit
Did you guys really upload this video with the audio sounding like this? I hear generic music playing but I also hear what almost sounds like someone talking underwater in the background.
Nope you just imagined this whole ordeal. Freaking phycho
The audio is messed up and you can't hear anything.
IVE INSTALLED THIS BUT MY HEADLIGHTS SLAM OPEN AND SLAM SHUT NOT SMOOTH LIKE IN THE VIDEO, HAVE I DONE SOMETHING WRONG ?
For 900 bucks I'll replace every piece in my vacuum set if I have to
Is this going to be more or less the same for my 66 vette? Got the kit last year but have not got around to doing the job yet...I am getting to it soon so I want to be sure there is a how to I can reference

To access the headlight switch, disassembly to the dash is required.
Detroit Speed, Inc. but why do you need to access the switch? You can surely take a feed from the actual lights for the up and down?

This video has the worst audio I've come across on TH-cam, you guys really need to fix it.
How many hours would it take to install?
Do you have this for the 1968 caprice?

nice job. i want it in my car.
I don’t drive mine at night problem solved
Would have been a great video if they would have just TALKED!!!!
It seems like a lot of work just for better opening headlight doors....no thanks!
the vacuum operated lights are troublesome.My 80 never worked correctly
Personally I don't think it's all that great as far as seeing what you are doing. Your hands are mostly what I am seeing.
Bad audio
No, I don't think so. Keep and fix original.
