    GM # 2983580 ('65 AIM & Serv. PN) vs. Lectric Limited VHL6465M H'Light motor Harness

    GM # 2983580 was purchased years ago, packaged in a paper GM service package. I forgot I owned it, and recently bought VHL6465M from Lectric Limited. GM # 2983580 is also listed in the 1965 Corvette AIM (UPC 12, A10). These are both nice headlamp harness assemblies for 64-65 Corvettes. Connectors to the headlight "bucket" electric motors are green on the GM harness and black on the LL harness. See photos below. (I also looked at an old '64 harness and saw a green connector there.)

    Finally, one of the wires shown in the comparison photos below is yellow and black on the repro harness, while the GM part has a solid yellow wire.

    Can you comment on the connector colors or the wire colors I noted?

    p.s. John Hinckley posted a photo (not his car) showing a harness that looks like the Lectric Limited version. He did not make a distinction, as the discussion was mostly about the harness change made between 1965 and 1966.

    Tom what does the AIM UPC 12 Wiring Diagram show for colors?

      1965 AIM: UPC 12 sheet D1
      12 DG (dark green, I assume)
      12 B/Y (black and yellow, I assume)
      12 B (black ground)
      Same for both headlamp electric motors. No indication of the connector color, which (I think) should be green.

        Tom, Reproduction matches original. OTC part functionally correct but different color wire for 65. IIRC 66,67 uses Yellow, so another case of proper function for prior years. Also so one part# covers more years for cost savings at GM.

        I'd use the LL repro.
