I just installed the Headlight Motor Control module from pantera electronics and it works great! You do need to make a 6 wire harness that goes from the relay panel on the drivers side over to the fuse block on the passenger side and then back. Instructions are clear and Jon Haas is very helpful if you have questions.

What constitutes "raised nicely"? 2 or 3 seconds?
I'm not sure how many amps the headlights pull, maybe not much???
You could add a separate switch to raise and lower the lights, so the
headlights are not sucking current?
I suppose you could add a circuit that keeps the light off when the
motor is on? Maybe a relay in series with the power going to the
motor
that cuts the power to the lights?

When we went through the headlight mechanism I found that one of the
field magnets in the motor had come lose and was up against the other
magnet - which is not going to help the motor work well. I JB welded
the magnet back where it belonged and headlights raise nicely.

Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] headlights
If you havenat done it already, I found swapping the gear from the
factory plastic to bronze (plus liberal lubrication) made a huge
difference in raise/lowering speed (itas the same one used for the
windows). Rob DaOrazio installed linear actuators for his headlamps,
and itas not only quick, but enabled him to delete the headlamp
rotational bar, which makes accessing the radiator a lot easier.
Sometime in the early a80s, the headlights on my dadas Pantera slowed
wayyyyy down. I remember he replaced the motor, and the lights would
raise in half the time. Evidently the motors arenat sealed well from
the elements, and umpteen years of dirt/heat/moisture can really take
its toll - not to mention you can use an egg timer to measure the
speed.
