Pete, surely (I know don't call me...) only Federal elans had fail safe headlights with a single vacuum pod??
All European Sprints had twin pods, the good news being your car is correct...

If there is a leak, the lights should be up.
My '72 Sprint had had a front end rebuild at some point and had two vac-pod units, is this the case with yours?
I put the vac units in a bin and fitted modern electric actuators.
