I think the yellow wire goes to ground while the doors are opening.  I created the attached doc a while back and SOBill reviewed it.  If you used it for the ground side of the new relay, I guess it would work for opening?  I'm not a circuit guy and I'd have to think about what happens during closing and closed, but I guess the yellow wire would just be +12V going to +12V?  just not sure.

Would that be something like attached?
One quirk I see would be the headlights would flash just the instant the motor starts, then come on when motor stops

Rich, no need to change your headlights if you are satisfied with them.  Just use a relay to delay the headlights from going on until they are all the way up.  You can do that by using the same micro switch that stops the lights from going up and attach a relay so it closes when the headlights stop going up.

Thanks for all your input.
  I took the motor apart and inspected it.
  It is in good condition.
  The lights will go up faster when I rev the motor, bringing more power
  to them.
  Based on what people said, I think my problem is that I have aviation
  landing lights.
  I kind of forgot about it.
  They have been in the car for over 35 years.
  The light bulbsA suck up all the power from the motor when going up.
  They always worked well, so I have not messed with them.
  I guess I will look at LED lights.
