Likely poor connections.
Clean the grounds for the headlamps (either side of the radiator) and clean all the fuses, fuses clips, and bullet connectors at the headlamps fuse box
Headlamp Circuit Checklist

the headlights fuse box is located next to the Coolant Filler Tank, Driver's side, engine compartment, a little 5 fuse fusebox with a plastic cover, usually black or sometimes clear plastic. 4 fuses are one for each of the 4 headlamps, 1 fuse is for the auxiliary cooling fan mounted below the front bumper.
steal your wife's emery nail file and clean the brass contacts shiny.

an emery nail file is made of cardboard, not metal, women use them for shaping their nails, they feel like sandpaper, but are a lot less coarse than sandpaper. They work great for cleaning fuse holder contacts.
here's the 1984 headlamp fuse box description that came with my 1984 from the factory when new.

no more loco headlights for a while!
Autozone sells little packets of dielectric grease called "Connector Protector" in a light blue package. I use the dielectric grease in areas where there is moisture, like in the engine compartment, relays, wire connectors at the horns, light bulb sockets in the front, sidelights, prevents the greenish corrosion that forms when cars are stored and also protects from rain.
