The original headlight motor rebuild is quite easy and all the parts are available now in repro form. If I had known that going in I might not have done the Detroit Speed deal. Here is an article on rebuilding the motors.
However, the Detroit Speed upgrade is also pretty easy ... the new electronic headlight motors bolt in easily. The tricky part is replacing wires in some of the factory connectors and installing the electronic "brain" under the dash...

Last year I finally broke down and got a new one at Carlisle, they ain't cheap, but the problem is fully solved.

My headlights would go up but not down. After reading this thread I took the switch out of the car, took it apart and cleaned the two contacts (they looked like points). Put the switch back in the car and viola, they go down as fast as they went up. Just like a brand new switch. Thank you Corvette forum.
