Try to use a delay option in rc.local , like below two lines.

(sleep 3; service lightdm stop) &
(sleep 2; service lightdm start) &

No sudo is needed here , as rc.local is executed always as root. The
ampersand symbol is not actually needed, but it helps sometimes.
The restart option in lightdm is a "painful" for the system method. It
would be better to use the commands above to stop and then start it again.
