This document is an exploded parts diagram titled "68-82 Headlight Components," covering the hidden (pop-up) headlight system used on 1968–1982 Chevrolet Corvettes. The illustration shows how the headlight assembly comes apart, with labeled callouts for the bezel, housing, headlight capsules, bulb, capsule spring, capsule adjuster, and bearing stop. It also details the vacuum actuator system that raises and lowers the headlights, including the actuator, actuator front seal, actuator support, actuator bracket, actuator relays, housing bearing, and inboard and outboard support rods. Linkage hardware is identified as well: front link, rear link, link insert, link screw, link spring, bushing, clevis, sleeve, pin, front pin, housing spring, and warning switch. A boxed inset photograph in the lower right corner shows an "Open Warning Switch" identified by the reference/part number ES-312. A reader can use this diagram to identify the names and relative positions of every major component in the Corvette headlight door/actuator assembly for disassembly, repair, or parts ordering. No torque specs, fastener sizes, or additional part numbers are given beyond ES-312.
