Hide away headlights

[CANIBUILD4U]

Hey guys , just bought my first project car, 74 Charger SE , will 72 hide away light covers fit? And can anyone tell me anything about what all I have to do to get them up and working? I bought a set off Ebay but havent received them yet, they have the linkage rod and motor but the motor is believed not to work . Anyone know where I can pick up a reproduction motor? Do I have to change all my light wiring? Also doe anyone know where I can find a metal power buldge hood?

Also search around, Ive seen threads on wiring up the relay for the headlamp doors. There are a lot of folks that uses a newer bosch relay.

Hope this helps some,
Jason

Thanks a lot jaak that was very helpful but he didnt mention anything about the motor on the light doors . Do you know where I can buy a reproduction of this motor and where I can get my hands on a wiring diagram ? Would a shop or repair manal have this info? If so are they a particular manal that is better? :confused:

Get yourself a factory service manual. Those have all the information you will need. Remember you will need '72 service manual for the hidden headlights.
