Is ther a valve between the head light acuators to raise the lights evenly.Or do I need to replace both acuators?

The headlight that is rising slowly, may have a seal leak or the lift mechanism may be sticking, the latest one I have done is completely new and the passenger's side is just a bit slower, is yours the same?

Very rarely do they go up evenly,it's always a race to see which one gets to the top first,same thing when going down.there is no adjustment

Rick,
My right headlight doesn't close or open until the other one is just about closed or open.
I'm just happy that they work.
Along with hot feet, leaks, etc., it adds to the charm of the C-3.

I agree with the charm of owning and driving a C-3. I get the idea that it's the norm for the ligths to open like they do. Thanks for the info.

I agree, its just nice to have them work, because with these babies, no pop up means no light ( its a shame these cars don't have fog lights ).

Rack it up to the joys of vacuum. The lights on "The Toy" pop up unevenly but they drop pretty much together.
The 'lectric lights on "The Beast" flip over almost exactly the same (especially after replacing the nylon bushings).

The timing problem may be in the relays, not the actuators. Try switching the relays and see if the problem reverses. Also the lights will work just fine with one relay. You can Tee off of the two lines going to the actuators. I did this to my 78 and the lights popped up together.
