Headlights on '80
Quick question from a newb: were the headlights on the '80 model still actuated by a vacuum system, or had their been a progression to some other method (e.g. electric motor).
thanks,

They are still vacuum actuated. The headlights on my 81 recently stopped opening and one of the forum members suggested I change the vacuum filter and check valve, fixed the problem for less than forty bucks...........
