Hidden Headlights

So now that i pretty much have my fuel issue worked out (new everything works to solve problems) i'm curious as why my hidden headlights dont want to work. the headlights themself work just find, but the part in front of the headlight doesnt go up. any ideas as to why. is there a switch im not seeing for it somewhere (72 dodge charger se)

I know that the 69 camaro and 69 cougar has vacuum actuated headlight covers.

Maybe the charger does as well?

Do they make any sound when you try to open them? I can assume if there is no sound there is no power (easy to check) or the motor is blown.

I'm not too sure on this, but it seems I remember there was an additional part of the light switch that opens them when the lights are turned on. Maybe built into it, maybe a plug in attachment. Have you seen the Charger only web site? I betcha there's someone there who would know for sure. and Nope, not trying to get rid of you, we need all we can get, but it might help.

The doors should open when the lights are turned on. Those motors were prone to burning out, but on the plus side they were still using the same motor into the '80's
