[DeTomaso] Headlight

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

It will work but to avoid the flash you can connect the new relay coil
to points "GY" and "Y" of the open limit switch. The coil will receive
power only when the switch is open. Coil ground is provided by "GY" and
12V comes through the turned off motor at "Y".
 
I have a similar setup to turn off my DRL lights when the headlights
are raised.

?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.
