Can I convert to hideaway headlights?

[71Mopar]

Just bought my 71 Charger and it has the regular round lights, but was just wondering if I could convert to the hideaway lights? What all would be involved? Just in the small amount of research I've done about it, I didn't find anything about converting. Thanks so much!

you could possibly ask one of the responders to that exact question from DC.com

Can be done. Best thing to do is buy the complete set up for the grille. Don't try to piece one together it will cost you a lot more. You will need a different forward light harness that Y.O. sells and a circuit breaker called the Rotating headlamp assembly or something like that. Most of the old ones are junk. I have three and none work correctly. there is a new one you can buy that replaces them.
The link the eccentric posted is for converting a 68 or 69 vacuum headlight doors to electric.

Here's a thread with some info.
