another weird thing, if the switch is on, and I pull to flash the brights, while i am pulling the lights will come up. But if I am not pulling on the lever the lights go out and they stop coming up dead in their tracks. This seems like a unique problem and is leaving me puzzled.....

Burn the fire.

is it just me... or do my headlights (when up) just shine more on the ground under me than the ground in front of me? I have to drive with the foglights on to see the ground ahead...

on the headlight motor, wiggle the connections with the switch on and the key on, see if they pop up.

I had that. It was the headlight motor relay. Cost like $10.

Regarding the relay, yes there is a relay strictly for the headlight motor. On my '87 924S that relay is mounted directly beside the motor under the rubber cover that also covers the motor. I would assume that it's in the same place on the 944. Aaron
