[DeTomaso] Headlight

You would wire a normally closed relay to the two wires going to the limiter switches from the headlight relay.  The relay that you install would interrupt the hot wire going to the headlights themselves, effectively not allowing the lights to come on until the buckets are all the way up.

power for the relay as the limit switches are open circuit when
contacted i.e. upper open when the lights are up. You could wire to the
other (buckets down) limit switch which would be closed circuit as soon
as the buckets start to move up, but that only delays bulbs on a by a
fraction of the buckets opening cycle.

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.
