Headlight pop-up fix
I was frustrated as heck ever since my left headlight would pop-up after I turned the car off. After troubleshooting all the tubes, I found a checkvalve by the firewall on the driver's side. I replaced it and BAM...problem gone!
The more frustrating part is after I fixed it, I searched the forum and found an old thread saying the same thing.
So here's to those who troubleshoot for hours with the answer right in front of them!!

Gotta love it when the search function comes through. 
Glad you got it fixed. That little check valve is a source of problemes man times.

When I use my built-in sucker, I can't get the check valve to check. Even on a brand-new-from-dealer check valve.
Consequently, I don't hold any vacuum after the car is turned off. But I'm not having any trouble with the vacuum system (that I know of). You guys get the same thing?
