Default Head lights stick closed

My headlites on my 82 are starting to stick open or closed and sometimes just won't go up or down! Anybody (funny cause it seems all c3's have a headlite problem) got a solution to this???

Use this troubleshooting guide: www.corvette-101.com/vacuum.htm
Then go to Willcox (on the left) type in 1982-repair & install help-vacuum and use the correct diagram.

Check the relays first. They control the actuators.
