[DeTomaso] headlight chatter

I just managed to successfully pull my radiator--thanks for the tip on taking off the hood first--now I need to have the leak fixed. I have a couple of questions:
1) It's brass, so what should I expect to pay to have it gone through and repaired?
2) There's a little rust on ends of the metal pipes leading to the radiator. After I wire brush them, should I paint them before I reinstall them, or leave the bare metal on the ends?
3) My headlights raise smoothly, but going down they chatter quite badly (they have since I got the car 4 years ago; it hasn't gotten any worse). Since the radiator is out, should I replace something to get them to go up and down smoothly?
4) If the answer to #3 is yes, what is involved and what is the cost of the parts I'd need?
Thanks, as always, for your help.
Sincerely,
Chris
PS: 4 years ago I would have never attempted to take out the radiator on my own--I'm making progress!
