Most of the headlamp system parts for 68-82 Corvettes have been discontinued by GM. There are a few parts still available including the actuators, the solenoid valves, the supports for 68-74, and some of the nylon bushings. Everything else is gone.

I know nothing about the imported actuators.

Joe,

As the owner of a '70, I thank you for your extra service to Lyndon's question. I guarantee this info will help many C3 owners. I always read all of your respones to everyone's questions. Learning about all Corvettes is almost as much fun as driving any one of them. Thanks for all you do.
