Default Need quick help from vacuum guys.

I have the order for new headlight vacuum hoses that comes with:

"Complete hose kits include correct size color striped hoses with raised ribs plus T connectors, harness tape, and routing diagram. Deluxe kit also include #443035 Filter, #443037 Valve, #303043 Grommet, and #113029 Troubleshooting manual"

My question is: when I am driving at night, I can manually pop the headlights up and use the manual override to keep them up. Even when it is turn off, the manual ride keeps them up full time. Since the manual over ride works fine, does this mean that my hoses are ok? If so, which of the valves is most likely to be the culprit?
:confused:

Another quick question. What would be the best way to test the system?

Sorry guys, I know there has been a million posts about this subject.
