Default Headlight Help!

I just got a '92 Vette 2 weeks ago. Well Last week the passenger side light does not open or close all the way without "help". It goes half way and then just sticks and then the motor just continues to run for like 10 seconds after the driver side (the functional one) already had done its thing and the motor had turned off. Any ideas on what the deal is??

Thanks

I hope you get a response here. Mine open and close all the way, but I do have the motor kajunk...kajunk...kajunk...kajunk...kaju nk when the lights go off, even if I only have the parking lights on and the eyes are already closed.

It sounds like you need to replace the bushings on that side. If you look in the the Tech Tip section there is a write up on how to do it. The bushings cost about $5.00 and the process is easy.

Bushings - do both headlights when you tackle the project.
