Hi guys,

I was fixing my headlights last weekend and when i start my car they close but only for 80% ,
When i turn on the lights they open real smooth and when i shut the lights off they close real smoothly but as mentioned , not all the way down !

any tips to create more vacuum on the lights or where the problem could be ?

I do not have a vacuum reservoir ,could this fix the problem ?

Thanks already

Chuck - there is no reservoir under the fender? There are quit a few places you can lose vacuum - one being the switch itself the seals get old, there is also a check valve that goes out quite often. Could also just need an adjustment..? See if the vaccume test Seafoam has here helps: http://www.mercurycougar.net/forums/showthread.php?29397-Here-s-a-headlight-question-for-ya&highlight=mityvac
