Many headlight issues
Well, here I am, the forums. After 3 different generations trying to fix the little bugs on a 1984 corvette, it’s landed in my hands. Everything is going great, I must’ve been lucky and got one of the “good” crossfires, but I’m having a hard time with electronics. I myself, before being gifted the vette, was a c10 man. I need some help on where to even start to fix the light problems. The passenger side headlight will stay stuck up and many lights including the driver side marker and amber will not light up. Once the lights are turned on, the left blinker indicator shines bright and no longer does the lights blink. Also, once I unplug the battery and plug it back in, the passenger side headlight goes down. The blinker issue was a pretty common headache when I worked on square bodies, but for the vette I don’t even know where to begin. This car use to be my grandfathers, I was born knowing I was going to be gifted this car. Please help a young man get it back on the road.

Start by replacing all bulbs and checking the sockets / grounds.
replace the headlight bushings in the motors. You’re going to end up doing it anyways
get a service manual (GM one) so you have the wiring diagrams
