They go up, but there is a delay of between about 2-10 seconds before the lights come on...no other issues. Might even be temperature related in that the delay seems longer the colder it gets. Any ideas?
The headlight motor relays only control the motors right? There doesn't seem to be any problem there, its just the lights don't light up right away.
Hep me hep me...

The headlight motor circuit has absolutely nothing to do with the headlights themselves. They will come on even if the motors never come up.
Check your headlight switch, and the high beam relay. Both could have problems that would delay the headlights coming on.

Sounds like a relay problem, but it might be dirty switch contacts. Try replacing the relays first.

Other possibility would be corrosion at any contact within the headlight circuit.
I'd check the contacts at the back side from the fuse panel as well as the bulb sockets ...

but the relay for the light is under the dash!
the 2 relays in the front trunk are for the motor only ...

Replace the relay under the dash and clean the contacts in the relay connector. The lights should come on instantly and then pop up.

The headlight switch contact pin 56 is by far the most likely contact to intermitantly fail or burn out. Make a short, temporary jumper wire to connect from pin 56 to pin 56K. If the lights come on instantly when you pull the headlight switch on, then make that jumper permanent.
