77 Headlight Issues - Schematic Needed
Only my 2nd quesiton on here and I'm sure you have seen this question before!
My 77 Vette headlights will not open on there own when I turn the lights on. However, they will open and close when I use the Headlight Service Valve under the dash. I am new to these vacuum issues and not sure if this is a clue of why they are not working.
I have replaced the headlight switch already when I had the dash apart.
I am trying to find an accurate schematic to just replace all the old vacuum hose and make sure all the parts are there that should be.
Am I on the right track here at all? I know there are hose kits for this but not sure if they have schematics included.

headlight kit
You buy the motor brackets from McSpeed. If you realy want he will put a kit together for you. This is a very expensive way to go. I bought my motors and other parts off Ebay. I had to makethr lift arms because I could not find any with the motors on Ebay. If you buy new motors they come with the lift arms.I have some where around 250 to 300 in mine. Ebay has new motors for sell that come with the lift arms. Go to www.McSpeed.com and click on killer lights. If you have questions you can email him and he is very helpfull. I will also help any way I can.

Killer Lights are made by one of our members, Chris MacDonald, 69MyWay. My buddy just put a set on his 70 coupe. We just have not had a chance to try them out yet.
