Thats a good question... I don't remember!!! But! Corvette Fever or Vette did do a report on rebuilding the drive systems on the headlites, as such, I am sure they recommend a lube...
If I can put my hands on the issue, I will check. I was within the last year. check their respective sites...

Wheel bearing grease is a bit too thick to use on there. White Lithium is what was in there from the general.

I know that Some use high temp grease, But White Lithium should work well.
