'96 Corvette headlight housing...
Can someone help me find a youtube video or anything to replace the headlight housing on my driver side.
I did find a good youtube video on how to remove the headlight assembly. However most of the videos are about replacing the headlight motor. Good thing my motors are great. My problem is that I need to replace the headlight housing since it's broken which the headlight has a difficult time opening up.
Does anyone know of a video or website I can see that can help me fix this? In the meantime, I will remove the assembly and try to figure it out once it's taken out. I will update this thread whether or not I was able to figure it out. In the meantime, please provide any information you can give me.
Thanks guys!

Letter "D" is what is busted. I already have the new one (actually used one) and i'm currently in the process of replacing it. Everything is so easy EXCEPT one part that I need to switch. It is very difficult to explain. lol. That is why I'm looking for youtube videos or anything that can walk me through the steps.

Update!!! ok well the good news is that i was able to replace the housing after so many attempts. Now the problem I have now is that when I turn on the lights, it opens great BUT...once i turn them off the door closes and the headlight motors keeps running for a good 5 seconds. It would not do that before and now it is doing it! it is a little irritating. It was fine before. Yes i have seen a video on youtube from someone who had the same situation but I just dont understand why it is doing it now.
Another problem I have is that the headlight door is not flush with the exterior hood. I have already manually turned the black **** either way to get it as flush as possible but it just doesn't get as perfectly flush as my other side. I dont know if I did something wrong.
