    "Winking" headlight

    Hey guys when I turn my headlights on, only the right headlight pops up....I can go over to the left headlight and give it a little lift and then it'll go all the way up. It stays up fine and goes down when I turn the lights off??? Could it be possible that I have a crimped vacuum hose somewhere?
