Really, if you want to keep your "investment" in the repair of the headlights down to a tolerable level, test the components yourself. That way when you go to a shop, you will know if you are being treated fairly. If you can turn a screw or connect a vacuum line, I can show you how to test. A lot of parts stores will loan you a hand vacuum pump (Autozone being one) for nothing. Three simple vacuum checks per side, and you will know what needs attention. You can do it.........

Check vacuum system. Let the car run a while. Turn it off and get a stethoscope at cvs for cheap. Start hunting down leaks, try to fix them or plug off at the bad spots. Shouldn't have any leaks when your done.
Worked for me. I got the whole vacuum system working before the body was on the car.
