Default C5 Headlight Assembly Adjustment ?

I recently purchased a '98 coupe and find that the passenger side headlight assembly comes short of fully raising by about 1/2 inch. If I pull up on the assembly and reach in to help the lever, it states up, but as soon as I lower them I'm back in the same situation. Can you advise how to adjust this, or if a part may need replacing ?

There are plastic gears that get worn out or stripped completely inside the headlight motor assemblies. There are aftermarked brass gears available to remedy this very common problem. Just use the search function on this website.
