Anybody have one? All the ones in old threads are dead/missing. I am trying to figure out how the switch controls them.

Thanks.

There's not much to the diagram. Just run vacuum to the switch and then a vacuum line from the switch to the two headlamps. The switch provides variable vacuum to the actuators to raise and lower the headlamps slightly.

Does it have some sort of variable leak in it, or is it just a variable restriction? I am trying to figure out if I can work it in to the transmission vacuum system that I am using for my VNT.

I never tested it, but, I'm sure it would need some type of variable leak.........a variable restriction would eventually get to full vacuum at the headlamps.

That was my thought too. In that case I will try splicing it into the signal line between the VCV and the turbo.
