That's not correct. The way I have it wired, the relay is energized when the buckets go up, which it turn opens the circuit. Once the buckets are up all the way the current is cut to the relay and the circuit closes to then light the headlights when the relay is de-energized, thereby making this relay a normally closed relay.

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.

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.
