Uncovering the Secrets of the Hideaway Headlights! 1965 Buick Riviera!

The 1965 Buick Riviera has a very complicated hideaway headlight opening mechanism that needs regular maintenance. I just converted these headlights over with a linear actuator kit from Dickster’s Smar”T” Pants, and it turns out that was just the start of this. After I got the headlights to actually function, I needed to go back and make sure that all of the moving parts are moving like they need to. I used a combination of Wheel Bearing Grease and White Lithium Grease, which is a heavier spray lubricant. I was rewarded with the headlight clamshells that open and close much smoother. This is one of the iconic features that I’m very glad to have working again.
