[DeTomaso] Headlight

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

No, you want a normally open relay as shown by Joseph to make this work.

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.

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.
