.......had a similar issue and replaced the headlight relays, cured it!

Do you have a part no. and location for the headlight relays? Having a hard time finding it.

The relay should be in your engine bay fuse box. This must be a common problem because I have heard of this happening quite often. Luckily as stated previously, the part to replace is not costly at all!!:cheers:

Sorry, should have got to you sooner....headlight relays in my 84 are drivers side engine compartmentjust ahead of the wheel well. There are 4, I believe and they are attached to the inside of the fender well.....they cost about $8 each....

Hello
On a 93 vette there is a clutch in the headlight motor that takes the shock as the head light stops spinning and they fail all the time. If you go to any auto parts store they make a repair kit for a ford window motor in the HELP section. 3 small bushings, this kit works in 88 to 96 corvette head light motors is $5.00 and one hour it will work like new.

I would also check your grounds. My headlamps were starting to malfunction because the ground was simply loose.
