It's been years since I owned my TR7, but as I remember, the wiring
comes out of the headlight motor assembly into a connector which plugs
into the wiring loom. The contacts in the connector were brass without
any plating. They had a tendency to corrode and become intermittent. I
remember polishing them up and coating them with dielectric grease to
stop the corrosion.
There is also a park switch in side of the motor housing that causes
trouble. When it got intermittent, the headlight would bob up and down
until the switch finally made contact. Sort of annoying. Especially when
you got to the curb, turned the headlights and key off and it continued
to bob up and down with everything else off.
I never did have any problems with the motors.
