So the problem is that it stays open when turned off, and after turning lights on, it coses and enlights under the car

maybe some problem with the button itself - wires conected wrong? Maybe someone has photo of normally working switch?

This is in the wrong forum. "How-To"'s start with answers, not questions.

-But your headlights are obviously out of sync. I'd switch them off, unplug the connector at the motor, loosen the nut on the motors' shaft and pry off the small linkage arm there, then reposition the headlights to the down position, reattach the linkage, reattach and tighten the nut.

The same thing used to happen on my 80 NA. I could open the hood and tap the connector at the headlight motor and the headlights would retract. The problem was caused by loose/spread female connectors in the plug.

There should be stops on them that hold the headlight steady when in the raised position.

Without them the headlights would jump around with every bump.
There is a screw on them with should come against a stop when raised.
