Default Headlight problem

I think my headlights developed a vacuum leak. The headlights will not come up all the way, they come up halfway and then I have to pull them up the rest of the way. So what I want to know is if there is a conversion kit that can convert the headlights from vacuum controlled to electronic controlled.

Don't know about the electric setup, but before you go changing your whole headlight system, check out one of our forum member's (AJ) web site. I've met him, he's a great guy and very knowledgeable about vacuum systems on our C3's. He has lots of great information on there and could probably help you solve your headlight problem.

Good luck.

Check as many vacuum lines and there connetions. It sounds like a small leak that is not allowing enough vacuum to reach the lights.
I had a similar problem and it was a small line had slipped off the resevoir tank.
