Timely because I just fixed this problem on my '92 TODAY. When you turn off JUST the parking lights, and the motors wirr for a few seconds (sounds like THUNK THUNK THUNK) then the bushing have disolved. Or it makes the same noise when you turn off the main headlamps. It's a less than $5 fix, but it takes half a day. Seriously, I enjoyed spending a day fixing my car, and it wasn't very difficult. In a sec. I'll direct link to the post that gave me the instructions

Yup, If you have an 1988-96 C4, it's a fair bet your bushings are toast.
You can buy them on the aftermarket from MAM's, Eckler's Corvettes Parts and other speciality houses, or you can go to Home Depot like I did and save even more money.
Nylon bushings (spacers) are available at Home Depot 27/64" x 29/64" (three for .43 cents.)
Ask for item number 595609. You'll need 2 packs of 3 spacers for a total of 6 to do both lights. The UPC code on the package is 30699 87278. Total cost locally was $1.29 + tax.
Search the C4 tech tips and print out the instructions for headlight motor repair along with the Corvette Fever article. www.corvettefever.com <http://www.corvettefever.com>
With all this info., you should make out just fine.Good luck and holler back if you run into any snags or need any more help!
