Default Fixed one problem and created another.....

I pulled the speedo cabled out of my 81' today to grease it. While blindly rooting around to disconnect it and reconnect it to the back of the gage housing I managed to pull the two vaccum lines from the switch to raise and lower the headlights (emergency switch I guess you would call it). Now, not knowing where they were to begin with I have no clue where to look/feel to replace them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

2 hoses on the black switch under the steering wheel and 2 on the light switch.

Sorry, I had to laugh, as that seems to be something that all of us have gone through. I wonder if the AIM would help identify where the hoses go.
