There is a line to the headlight switch and a vacuum reserve canister somewhere in the engine compartment,or under the fenders. This goes to a vacuum motor in the grille that actuates the assembly. Does the car run ok? Usually if these things leak the car will run bad. There should be a valve somewhere in the system that you can turn so the headlight doors stay open(ie inclement weather) somewhere under the hood. It will be on a vacuum hose. Check to see if there is any linkage binding. That will stop the doors from working. IP: Logged
