C3 Corvette Headlamp & Wiper Door Vacuum Components 1968-1982

C3 Corvette Headlamp / Wiper Door Vacuum Component
​1968 brought the debut of the third generation (C3) Corvette. This all new Corvette again featured hidden headlights but with an all new vacuum operated control system. The system was comprised of electrical and vacuum switches, connected with rubber hose, to control the vacuum supply to the headlights and wiper doors. Being comprised of a lot of rubber hose and vacuum diaphragms, this system becomes increasingly troublesome with age. Hoses crack and diaphragms rupture causing weak vacuum supply to the headlights and wiper door, in addition to general mechanical wear of bearings and bushings.

Mid America Motorworks is pleased to offer the most complete line of C3 Corvette Headlight & Wiper Door Vacuum Components for your 1968-1982 Corvette. Through our numerous restoration projects, we have gained a lot of hands on experience with the C3 Headlight & Wiper Door Vacuum system. We applied this experience while sourcing our Headlight & Wiper Door components, to assure you quality and reliability that's unmatched in the market. From individual parts to kits, we attempt to address your project's specific needs in a manner to help you save time and money. We also took time to develop our Tech Suggestions, linked below, as well as a full blown C3 Corvette Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual. Our Troubleshooting Manual will take you step-by-step through the complete Corvette headlight and wiper door vacuum system of your 1968-82 Corvette. It contains clear, easy-to-understand diagrams and text to help you build your system from scratch or carry out general repairs.
