Scott,

Here's a link.  It's got a pretty good trouble shooting procedure:

http://www.corvette-101.com/vacuum.htm


Basically the lights are raised by the actuactors.  The actuactors get the vac.
from the relay.  So I'd check to see of you get a change in vac. at the control
port (top) of the relay.  If not, then there's a start.

If you do, check the output of the relay?  If you have vac. there, 
then I'd suspect
a bad seal or broken diaphram in the actuactor.

Might be time to convert to Terry's air headlights. :)
