The question isn't very clear, so if I'm not answering it correctly you might want to be more specific in your questioning. Make sure the lamp is not plugged into an electrical source before starting the directions below: It sounds like you have a lamp, maybe it has an existing socket or not? But the socket (where you screw the bulb into) is the part of the lamp that will determine if it is going to be three way or not. If you have an existing socket, remove it by loosening the set screw at the bottom, the it will probably be screwed to a shaft, so rotate the socket counter-clock-wise, as the base is separated from the socket, you can remove the wires from the socket by either cutting them or removing the bottom portion of the socket to gain access to the screws where the wire is fastened. Then simple attach the wires to the 3-way socket and reverse the steps above.
A 3-way lamp socket works by having two separate circuits inside the socket that can be turned on individually or together. Each circuit has a different wattage bulb, allowing for different levels of brightness when both circuits are turned on together.

On either headlamp assembly you can change the bulb (standard H8 Haologen bulb; around $12 - $15) with no tools. Be sure the engine is off and they key is removed from the car. Open the hood. Behnind the headlamp assembly (directly behind the bullet lamp) there is a round, black cover about 3" in diameter. Unscrew the cover. Unclip the power cable that runs to the lamp socket and push it out of the way. Rotate the lamp socket about 1/8 turn (22.5 degrees) toward the engine. Pull the lamp socket straight out. Put a new H8 Haologen lamp bulb in by placing it about 1/8 turn toward the engine and seat it in the lamp housing. Turn it in the housing so that the lamp socket is straight up. Clip the cable that you removed back onto the lamp socket, and replace the cover.
You can use a three way bulb in a one way socket. I believe the default wattage will be the middle one. E.g., a 30-70-100 watt three way will default to 70 watts in a one way lamp or socket.
There is no way to know for certain when the lamp will die, but when the light comes on, the power to the lamp has detected the increase in current, which is indicative of a lamp that is about to burn out. I would purchase a replacement lamp and have it on hand when the bulb goes out. I would expect you will get no more than a couple of weeks use from this old lamp.
