Default Vacuum headlights

Can the headlights work ok but still have a leak either in the accuators or the little vaccum things that set next to them ? anyone have a troubleshooting tree for the headlight system ?

my headlights go up and down ok while the car is on. but after i turn it off, they will not go up or down (if i leave them up). i think my vacuum check valve is bad allowing air to escape.

check out this site. it's breaks down the vacuum system and provides a guide on how to troubleshoot each part of the system. this is a site to bookmark :yesnod:

and here's another good one that provides lots of good info:
