Vacuum hose size for headlights?

Ok, this sounds stupid, but what is the size of vacuum hose you are using to run from the switch to the actuators?  Mine are so rotten I am having a hard time pulling the trigger on a spool.  The nipples of the actuators mic out to .20-.21 which equates to 7/32 hose.  Is this what you guys use?  I want to replace all of it since my dash is out and everything is easy to get to. 

Thanks,
Jon

69bfan has reproduction hose kits (or has had in the past.)   Don't know the cost.  Last I heard they were about $180 for a complete set.

I dont really need the kit, just want to replace the lines.  Those kits are like $180 - $225 and a spool of hose is $25.  Just confirming the size to order.  Thanks!

Gates 27042 5/32 hose was an exact fit. 50 ft spool was $20.

I bought the kit , because it has the hoses bonded into a block on headlight switch , don't loose the clip that holds this on to switch ,
Just fitted this today , much better than generic hoses,

Yes, I did the same. Removed my hoses from the block then pushed the new hose in with a dab of contact cement. Hoses had the exact OD so other than the yellow and green stripe it was perfect. Thanks, Jon
