International Customers

Due to some ongoing challenges with the software we use to generate customs data and print shipping labels for international orders,
orders may take upto 7 days before we are able to generate the shipping label. If the order has USED item or items that need to be shipped from the supplier to us, it can take significantly longer.

Also be aware that even though we ship items with the proper documentation to show that duties and taxes are prepaid, some Postal Services are ignoring this and still charging these fees at delivery. If this occurs to you, please send us a copy of the receipt showing the tracking number with the fees paid and we can get the Duties/Taxes we charged to you refunded.

UK Customers / EU Customers

We are using a new shipping service where international shipments now include the Duties/Tax/Fees, so currently we can not offer USPS/Mail Innovations if the order is over 135GBP/150EUR, since USPS can not pay duties/taxes. If the order is less than 135GBP/150EUR, we can pay the taxes directly to the EU/UK and we can ship USPS/Mail Innovations*. All orders over 135GBP/150EUR have to ship UPS/DHL so we can use DDP to cover the Duties/Tax/Fees. This has allowed us to resume shipments of any value to the UK and EU.

TIP: You will likely be able to ship your order for less cost if you ship any items over 135GBP/150EUR on one order via UPS, then break the rest of the order up into orders of less than 135GBP/150EUR.

By breaking your orders up into less than 135GBP/150EUR:

you will avoid the import duties on those orders
less expensive shipping methods are available
you will avoid some UPS fees

Canadian Customers

CANADIAN CUSTOMER: Due to the Canada Postal Service strike, we recommend choosing DHL Express.
Note: UPS Mail Innovations is NORMALLY delivered by the post office, however UPS has transitioned all Canadian-bound shipments to a non-postal delivery service.

We have worked with UPS to waive some of the brokerage fees. The rates shown now include all UPS fees. We have also added DHL, which offers lower cross boarder fees.

Our shipping provider has added Duties Prepaid options for US Postal Service options to Canada. This has allowed us to resume USPS shipments to Canada.

However, beware that this is a new process for the Post Office, so sometimes Canada Post shows the duties and taxes COD, when they are actually prepaid. If this happens, first inform Canada Post that the shipment was sent duties prepaid (DDP). If they still require you to pay the duties before delivery, please contact us.

Turkey Customers

The international shipping software we use requires that we pre-collect and pre-pay the duties and taxes. Because of recent changes to Turkey import laws, Turkey no longer supports this. Because of this you will need to use a shipping broker for us to ship items to you.

US Postal Service (USPS)

Our new international shipping system supports international shipments via USPS only if the order total (including shipping to most countries) is below the Duty/Tax De Minimis for your country (View De Minimis Chart).
Exceptions:
UK orders upto 135GBP
EU orders upto 150EUR

The US Postal Service (USPS) has suspended services to over a dozen countries (see complete list).
UPS Worldwide Services \ DHL Worldwide can still be delivered to these locations.

Description

This conversion will replace the old, tired, vacuum system that likes to leak and wear out.

This kit consists of two electric actuator assemblies (new Mazda Miata motor) with a plug and play wiring loom for easy installation. Simply remove all existing vacuum components and replace with this kit to have headlight covers that work under any conditions with the car running or not. These new motors are smoother and more reliable than previous versions that utilized the Ford Probe motors and are fully adjustable. There is a provision for the Halo light conversions if your car is so equipped. Do not be fooled by the multiple knock offs out there. This is a quality set-up with plugs that integrate with your original wiring, powder coated bracketry (not reconditioned motors) and the WCCC service you have grown accustomed to. Keep in mind we can offer in store credit for your quality used take off vacuum parts. They are not highly valuable but others who want to keep their car very original will be grateful and WCCC can issue a call tag for shipping via UPS.

Detailed instruction sheet included.

If you have a high performance engine with low vacuum, this is a must have kit for your Cougar.

Actuator Heim joints are fully adjustable to keep your grille and headlight lids nice and straight without slack. Another advantage of this electric system is that it doesn't put constant pressure on your grille like the original vacuum system does.

These kits have a 3 year full warranty against manufacturer defects.

Latest and greatest kit. Very well made and a true plug and play wiring kit. Very easy instructions. My headlights and grille really lined up well. If you watch the WCCC video (which is very good BTW) is of the previous kit, take note that the newest kit has most of the connections are on the passenger side. Highly recommend this kit!

Pros:

open evenly and quickly
Easy assembly after watching video

Cons:

All the wiring should be soldered
crimped connections

Easy to install, the only reason I dinged for craftsmanship is the wiring is crimped in the pins for the connector and one of them came loose. Quick fix by soldering the pin back onto the wire and pushing pin back into the connector. They open nice and smooth and precise. I am Quite happy with is so far.

Lots of bang for your buck here, and easy enough to install with the included instructions. The ready to go wiring harness which is included makes it extra nice. No more vacuum leaks or uneven/slowly closing headlight doors. I have another Cougar with a perfectly working vacuum system but I'll eventually swap those out for these as well, because their function is vastly superior.
