W123s with working headlight adjusters, read this

so when my car was federalized, the passenger side vacuum line for the headlight adjuster 'disappeared'.

the drivers side functions perfectly. can someone tell me the source and routing of this line?

Runs from the switch behind the dash behind the glove box and out some hole. Maybe it's just broken?

oh no... the circuit works perfectly... there's just no LINE at the right side headlamp. it's completely missing. i guess i'll tee the existing line and run one across the front of the car.

Thats all you need to do, split it and run vacuum line to the headlight.

10-4 on the switch vs line

I'll head over to the local euro independent car parts place and get me some vacuum parts and hook that sucker up.
