I'm guessing they eventually get to the headlight switch - possible to a T fitting first?

There is one big hose and two small ones. The large one eventually fed by the engine vacuum, the small ones go to the switch. One in to the canister, one out. then it goes to the passenger side, and then operates that unit.
