Default Getting headlights in sync when opening?

I took my 02' Z06 to the dealer when one of the headlights started not functioning. When I got it back the headlight that didn't work now opens slightly before the other one. Is there some kind of syncronizing that has to be done or do I have to replace the motor on the other one now? Thanks

I rebuilt both of mine...one seems to lag a bit...I doubt other than replacing both at the same time you can resync them...but I am no expert

my Rh headlight used to stick... needed tapping to open...

GM warrantied it....

After that the new one opened faster...

I took it back.. to see if anythgin could be done...

They said put a new motor in the LH side...

either the new motors are faster... or the old motors are worn out..

Either way.. it kinda sucks.. if you replace only one.
