Common problem.

Try wiggling the relay and the motor iself.

Also, when they are up and the switch is turned off, pull up slightly on both of them a few times.

Check the groove on the headlight motor.

does it get stick and make a "click click click click" noise? or does it not do anything at all?
or does the motor get hot?
