does your car have a sensor in the dash or anywhere else for automatic lights on and off, it looks like a small ball. it works off of the same principle as a night light, when it is dark enough it the lights will come on, and vice versa, so check to see if you have one or if there is any papers on the dash clean it off. if this does not work and you so have a sensor like the one I described, it is probably bad
These are projector headlights, not regular reflectors. you must polish the inner lenses as well-- these are the two spheres visible inside the headlights. open headlight case and polish away. Ajax followed by whitening toothpaste works.
The headlight switch on a 1993 Mercury Topaz is typically located on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. It allows you to turn the headlights on and off, as well as control other exterior lights such as the parking lights and fog lights. If you are experiencing issues with your headlights, it is recommended to check the fuse, bulbs, and wiring before replacing the headlight switch.
A cheap alternative to costly headlight cleaners is toothpaste. Cleaning the interior and exterior of your headlights with toothpaste will leave them clear and shiny. The grit in the toothpaste helps remove dirt and bug residue that accumulates while driving. It is a great cost effective means of cleaning your headlights. Toothpaste averages about 1.50$ per tube and will last you through various cleanings.
Blinking lights on dash and exterior lights may indicate a bad ground wire or a faulty headlight switch. Both would cause those problems.
The exterior lights do not have a relay. They are directly turned on by the headlight switch.

When you open the hood of the car, there are 2 bolts that hold the headlights onto the car, one on the top of the headlight assembly and one on the front of the assessembly (facing outwards at the front of the car. Remove the bolts, and gently pull the headlight outwards and angle it upwards a bit, to clear the side body molding. You can not remove the clear plastic covers on the front of the headlight without ruining the seal, so I wouldn't recommend it; however, if your lights look cloudy and foggy, it is most likely the exterior of the plastic, and there are kits available at most car parts stores that will remove that oxydation and discolouring.
