Fix Your Lazy 1968-1982 Headlights with these Vacuum Kits from Volunteer Vette

When the 3rd generation Corvette debuted in 1968 it was an engineering marvel with its T tops, fiber optic light monitoring system, and vacuum-operated headlights and cowl. Pop open the hood and marvel at the labyrinth of color-coded hoses running throughout the engine compart and behind the front bumper.

As we’ve learned over years, these systems can be quite finicky as they age. We’re sure you’ve all seen Corvettes with one headlight (or both) open winking at you.
