Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

There is really no need to plug up the lines.  Just crack it loose then when ready to lift he caliper, disconnect it, drop the other caliper in place and reconnect the line.  Make sure the master cylinder is full to start with, and fill it again when the line is connected.   Then open the bleeders and make sure the master cylinder stays full when letting the caliper gravity bleed. 

One the fluid is running from the bleeders, then have someone pump the pedal and bleed as you normally would.  Of course make sure the brake pads are in place before bleeding.
 
There are some good post about the headlights.  Do a search and you should find some good advice.

Vette(s): 71 Colonnade Hardtop Coupe Torch Red with black interior originally L48 built to push around 360hp
I had the same headlight problem on my 71. Check all your vacuum lines. I used a Mighty Vac to open lights.If they don't open, you may need acuators or replace the seals. my7T12006-10-20 05:25:20
