I watched your videos and it seems to work well, but I noticed something in the first video that does not seem to match what is in the text of your post.
The title of the video is "1968 GTO pneumatically-operated headlights are configured to operate using two headlight motors from 1996 Pontiac Trans Am."
The text of the post appears to indicate parts from an 87-92 Firebird.
What year Firebird are your conversion parts from?

They are from a 1991 T/A. Not sure where the title came from - its been a while since I posted it. Probably my typo.
The project has been solid ever since. I had one instance where one side got "over-center" and one was going up when the other went down! I put a bumper in to limit door travel in either direction.
Several people have remarked on the crisp action of my hideaways, and asked how I tweaked the pneumatics to get it that way. I show them the motors and they are impressed.
