Default Headlight help!

Ok, heres the deal. The driverside headlight takes about 5-10 minutes for it to go down. Why? My step-dad says its because of a vacum problem. Is this true, and what could fix it?
Thanks!

More then likely a vacuum problem, but go in there and spray some WD-40 or equivalent on the pivot points and see if that improves it. After that it's a hunt for a vacuum leak or bad actuator(usually a seal) or the actuator relay.
Go to http://www.corvettefaq.com and in the Misc. section there is both an actuator repair and hose replacement articles.
