90 Headlight acctuator order numbers
I did a search on headlights but didn't find any real info or numbers to order.
My passenger side headlight rotates about 1/2 way and then stops. I can then move it freely at that point. I remember doing a rebuild on my driver side about 4 years ago, but since then I have moved twice and lost all my data for ordering the gear assembly to rebuild. The dealer wants 180 bucks to replace the whole thing and I know I don't need it, but finding the gear to order has me at a stand still.
Thanks for the help in advance, it was a few people on the boards that got the Part number for me last time....again, sorry I lost the information so asking again.

Headlight repair
Before you replace either the gear assembly or entire motor, go to Home Depot and ask for item number 595609.
It sound like your bushings have worn out and that's what causing the headlight wink you're talking about. It's a common C4 problem.
There. Doesn't that sound a heck of a lot better than that dealer'
s $180 bones? 
The nylon bushings (spacers) cost me .69 cents (plus tax) for a package of three and you'll need 6 (six) to repair both headlights (highly reccommended.)

If you DO determine you need to replace the gears or the entire motor (which I seriously doubt) you can order one from Mid America Motorworks (MAM) or Eckler's Corvette Parts. Do a Google search and you'll find their web sites.
Good luck and holler back if you need any more info.
