Default Headlights ARGH

What typically causes the 1989's headlights to intermittantly not make it all the way up ?

What parts ?
About how much ?
Where is the best place to buy them ?

Thanxs all !!

What year? If 84-87...
1.) Put in new relays ($15 each; 1 for left, 1 for right, 1 for fun = 3 in all)
2.) Put in new gears (about $50 maybe for both sides; both gears)
3.) Make sure they're properly adjusted and not hitting anything.
4.) Possibly if all of the above fails, new motors = GOOD LUCK.
If 88-96...
1.) Ask someone else, :crazy:

If it's happening intermittantly, check your connections to make sure they're fit and there's no frays on the wires.
When the headlights are acting up, play around with the wires until it fully rotates. If this doesn't work then look at TIMSPEED's options, but if it does work the wires may be faulty
