C5 corvette headlights won’t go down
Hello! I have recently put on some new LED 9006 low beam headlights to replace the old halogen ones. Super easy, except on the driver’s side headlight the bulb seemed to be stuck, causing me to have to take of the bolts holding the whole headlight up. This took me a while as I had stripped the bolts, and had to replace them. Now, I got the new LED’s in and they work great. But now I realize that when I try to pop the headlights back down they won’t budge. I can hear the gears working, but the lights still won’t budge. Although I am able to lower the headlights fine manually from the engine bay. I checked fuse 6 on the passenger side and it wasn’t blown or anything like that. Any suggestions?

Did you add a resistor? That's what I needed to do on my C5 with LED headlights.
