I gather that the car sat for a while, meaning the problem could be multiple vacuum components for the heads light. I recomment looking into electric conversion. for less than 200 you can eliminate the vacuum all together. PM me.

Are your headlights raising and lowering?

No! Most of the time if the headlights won't come up it's because the 'seal' (grommet) is leaking and needs to be replaced.

Here's another trouble shooting guide.
