Default 88 headlights

Hello, last night I found a weird problem with my 88. Have only drove it in the dark once and when I was driving home the headlights creep closed after only a few seconds. When I turned them on they were slow to open. Any ideas where to start looking for the solution to fixing this.
Thanks

Mine was like this a few years ago...

Was real easy actually took about 45 minutes to do both and that included a beer break, my kid said the old bushings looked like rice inside the gears the way it was all crumble. He is happy that we can cruise any time of the day now.
Thanks again. Now back to the warm starting problem.
