Chances are the ground connections are poor. With out the headlamps on, there's enough of a connection to lite everything else, but with the headlights in play the electricity prefers the easiest path to ground and ignores the other lights.

The headlight motors are a issue of damaged wiring or the limit switches in the actuators have failed. It's pretty common to see this. 85 Fieros will have one-piece non serviceable actuator assemblies, which can either be replaced with the same or upgraded to late-style actuators, which can be rebuilt in the future.
