the motor on the headlights are going out, either both of them or just one you have to find that out... theres a wright up somewhere how to take th emotor out and switch the gear inside wich works,,,, its very easy just put your ind to it,, anything is easy just be patient

Bad headlight motors and bad window motors are just about the most common F-body probs around...Kinda like the alternators,clutch quadrants and leaning driver seat ("Gangster lean") on older Fox Body Mustangs...

Every beast out there has its problems...
