Default '89 pop-up headlight problem

I have problem with my headlights, one wont come out, the other seams like it's having problem getting out. I'm trying to find the pop up button but I'm not even sure if it exist on probe '89.

one pops up and the other one tries?
it's almost 20 years old! it's most likely the vacuum line or the air cannister.
pull out the headlight switch, shut off the motor, and VERY quickly listen for an
air leak around the light, cannister or rubber line.
same thing happened to me on my 79 t-bird. the line was dry-rotted and the cannister
had pin-holes.
