Print this relay and fuse chart and put it in your glovebox. You probably have a bad fuse or ground. Looks like in spot 20 is what connects the headlight motor

not sure on an 84, but on a 79 there is also a fuse. mine kept blowing the fuse because the connector plug to the head light motor was shorting out on the body.
