Replacement vacuum actuator relay used on 1968-1982 headlights and 1968-1972 wiper systems. This relay mounts between the headlight assemblies or on the cowl/RH fender for the wiper vacuum system. Controls vacuum going to actuator canister to raise & lower headlight doors or wiper door assembly.
Note: Vacuum hoses attach to the relay from the outboard ports to the inside. The center port is longer and original hose installed on the center port was not installed as deep as the outboard ports.

Our technicians have determined that the installation difficulty level of this item is a 2 on a scale of 1-5. Read more about our install ratings here.
Almost no effort. Either snap on or plug and play. Probably no tools involved.
Simple installation with common tools. Probably less than 20 minutes for installation. Easy enough for
anyone who can read and follow instructions. A good first project for someone with no experience. Hard
to mess up.
A little mechanical experience is helpful but not necessary. Possibly a good first project for those with
a little more confidence. Will probably take more time (20-60 minutes) than #2.
Mechanical experience a definite plus. Not a good first project for the inexperienced. Most likely a 2-3
hour job minimum.
Only for the experienced wrench. Most likely requires good tool collection, possibly special tools and
a fair amount of experience. 95% of people will choose to have this installed by Zip or a professional.
