Hidden headlight conversion

[dburkett8]

Hello all

i need some advice. i have a 71 that has a stock headlight unit, i purchased a hidden headlight set up but now i need to know the whole process that goes into the conversion.Obviously the wiring harness but i can make that on my oun. i would still appreciate any advice. Are there any other obstacles?

it is a bolt in piece just like a standard bumper, they bolt up the same in every facet... the only issue is if your charger was a NON-hood release cable car, if this is the case then you will have to replace your hood latch mechanism for a hood release system (or remove the manual lever)....

you have your hidden headlight system currently together in one piece right?

attached you will see pictures of my wiring harness. as far as where it leads, man I cannot find my 71 wiring schematic to get you on the interior.. I am sure someone has it somewhere.

Thanks Race dodge

yea its all in one piece.Motor and all !! I have been searching for the wiring schematic of the hidden headlights but i cant seem to find it. i assume the wires lead through the bulkhead to a fuse then from the fuse they enter a relay. The switch should control the coil of the relay and also the polarity . However i am unsure of the wiring ..i can use two relays and make the polarity switching system myself however i would like to keep it simple.

so i have done the math and its cost and time effective for me to make my own harness. Shouldn't be a problem I used to be a Navy electrician on f/a-18 fighter jets and i am 2 years into electrical engineering.All the parts add up to about 65 bucks which is the price of one of the two harnesses needed.I just made the schematic and added headlight position indication.Hopefully it comes out sweet. If anyone has any old wiring harness they no longer want please can i have it!!THOOSE OEM CONNECTIONS ARE HARD TO FIND!!
Ill post up everything once i prove it works
