You need a new headlight motor. Common problem.

Bill, you can do better than that! We don't even know what year Corvette the guy has. The problem may be a very simple fix, but we need to start with more basic information.

Yes, this is a common problem, and the answer might even be found with a search in the "Sticky" section at the top of this page.

Post #16 in the "Sticky" section will help in repairing your headlight motor, but your problem shouldn't need any new parts! The most likely problem is dirty limit switches on the motor shaft. This link doesn't spend much time talking about the limit switches, but the procedure for opening the motor is good.
