Default 1973 Headlight problems
Ok, I am sure there is a thread for this, just can't find it. On my 73, the driver side headlight comes up but doesn't go down. The passenger side doesn't come up at all. Is there a troubleshooting guide for this? Thanks for you assistance!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like a couple of bad actuators. pull the feed line off the resivor and put vacuum on then with a hand pump there are 2 on each side one lifts the light one drops the light.

Pinch off the yellow supply hose to one side and then try to operate the other light.
Then try the opposite. One big leak will effect both sides.
