does anyone know about an adjustment that can supposedly adjust my headlight tension or something along those lines. i had a new gear installed in my headlight, besides the guy cracking my bracket on the top of the headlight but after a couple of weeks, my headlights go up just fine but when i turn them off they both go down and the one that was repaired goes back up about half way. a guy had told me there was some kind of adjustment to it, but i couldn't find anything. any help would be greatly appreciated because i don't want to take it to the knucklehead that screwed it up to begin with.

thanks, mike

There's a TSB out for that and its one of the cheapest fixes on the Forum:

Model Year: 2000 Chevrolet Corvette

Some customers may comment that the left front headlamp door does not remain closed after the headlamps are turned off. Others may comment
that the left headlamp door closes when the headlamps are turned off, but then reopens. In either case, the right headlamp door operates properly.
Correction
Important
The following information applies to the left front headlamp door motor/actuator only. It does not apply to and should not be performed on
the right front headlamp door motor/actuator.

insulator (4) on each of the two mounting bracket travel stop tabs (5) as shown. For information on headlamp motor/actuator removal, see the Headlamp Motor/Actuator
