HEADLAMP DOOR ACTUATOR KITS NEW CONVERSION KITS AVAILABLE

SUBJECT: HEADLAMP DOOR ACTUATOR KITS (NEW CONVERSION KIT AVAILABLE)

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1984-87 'Y' CAR

The headlamp door actuators for the 1984 thru 1987 "Y" Car are no longer available. A kit (P/N 16517068) is now available to convert the 1984 thru 1987 Y car to the 1988 and newer "Y" car headlamp system. The package contains both the right and left hand retractable headlamp assemblies with actuators (minus the capsules), the control module, adapter harnesses, and detailed instructions.

If further service is needed in the future, all parts from the 1988 or newer model year may be used. An appropriate notation will be made in the Parts Catalogue.

Installation Notes:

1. Some of the kits may have headlamp actuator connectors that are wired backwards. If the one or both headlamp doors operate backwards after the kit is installed, reverse the terminals in the connector to the actuator.

2. It is important that all wiring connections be soldered, and protected with self-sealing electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing.

3. Headlamps should be aimed after the kit is installed.

Use the most applicable Labour Operation and time from the Canadian Labour Time Guide.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
