Default Finaly...my headlights work.

It was long trying experience.

Every component except for the headlight switch was bad...including the vacuum tank.

2-actuators
2-relays....rebuilt at home
1-vacuum tank....repaired at home
2-pull down switches
1-vacuum tubing kit
1-check valve
1-filter
1-spring kit for headlight mechanism
2-boxes of bandaids

It wouldnt have been to bad if it wasnt for the vacuum tank. My car has power brakes so the booster had to be removed. One of my lights is considerably slower than other so I may end up buying new relays.

I did this job a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it once I got the headlight assemblies out. Also now I have a better understanding of the whole vacuum system.
