I don't think so. I picked up a pair of RX-7 electric headlight assemblies
on E-Bay for $20. I can probably resell them for the same amount after I
remove the motor drives. I'm keeping the original Bricklin mechanism but
substituting the electric gear motors for the original vacuum actuators. I
will have to fabricate some new mounting brackets and add some limit
switches, but it doesn't look too difficult. I may go to lower profile
rectangular lamps. I'll let the list know how this turns out. My maim
focus just now is refabricating the rear upper shock mount cross member with
something much sturdier.

this sounds like it would eliminate a lot of problems. Do you anticipate
that this change will be expensive. Pugs 756

I am replacing my car's vacuum headlight system with electric actuators. I
will shortly be listing all the vacuum components on Ebay. That will
include both actuators, the relays and the "plumbing". I may include the
headlight control switch as well.
In addition, I will be listing a white acrylic hatch including the glass and
defroster grid in excellent condition.

Yes, the headlight vacuum relays are from a Corvette. There was an article
about repairing them in the Brickline a while back. The club website has
this
