It may be the headlight gears, which is a common problem. The stock gears are plastic and many Forum Members have encountered problems when the plastic gears essentially grind down. The good news is, if it is the gears, there is a ton of information about replacing with brass. Do an Advanced Search for "Headlight Gears" and you'll get everything you need.
Also, and again if it's the gears, Corvette Mods, a Forum vendor has the gears on sale - free shipping.

Thanks guys.
The knowledge base on this site is incredible.
Ordered the upgrade from plastic to bronze gear from www.corvettemods.com
The savings for a set was enough to go for it instead of just buying the one. I figure if one is done, the other won't be far behind.
