I won't know the answer to your question, but you have to say what year your car is for someone to be able to help. There's more than one headlight setup.

84-88 uses 3 wire system and 88-96 is a two wire and better system. To me it looks like headlight motor is bad, just bought an headlight passenger side motor from ebay for 100 bucks with core return worked perfect, mine is a 85 3 wire. Replacing headlight motor is easy u can do urself 1/2 hr job. Check ebay.

That being the case, it sounds like your bushings have gone bad. Click the article link below for installation instructions.

You can purchase the bushings from Home Depot or from Eckler's, MAM, and the other Corvette specialty catalogs.
