Turn headlights on and raise the hood. If they won't raise, use the thumb screw on the motor to manually raise the headlight.
Disconnect the negative battery cable and the headlight motor harness cable at the connector mounted on the fender in the engine compartment.
Remove the black bezel, 3- Philips screws
Look under the headlight and locate the screws that mount the entire assembly to the frame closest to the radiator (3- 13mm) bolts and the (3- 10mm) bolts straight ahead toward the windshield.
Once you remove all the bolts referenced above, the entire assembly should slide forward about an inch and lift out of the car. Do this carefully to avoid scratching the paint. Try using tape around the opening to avoid chipping by accidental contact.
Disconnect the harness from the headlight bulbs (gray and black)
Make a drawing or take a picture of the linkage that is connected to the motor shaft. Take note of the relationship to the white bumpers. Marking the position is recommended before disconnecting the linkage.
Remove the 10mm bolt connecting the linkage to the motor shaft.
Finally remove the (3-10mm)bolts holding the motor to the assembly frame.
Follow the instructions in the rebuild kit or replace the motor and reverse these procedures to install. Best of luck courtesy of NCOA member

Where is the Corvette headlamp motor located?
On the C4 the motor is actually attached to the bracket that holds the headlight assembly. There are about six 10mm bolts that hold it on and one at the end of the drive shaft. That shaft bolt is like a 5/8s and is difficult to reach. I removed the entire assembly from the hood which made it easier to get at the bolts. It's not a difficult task to remove the headlight motor. 88 and newer C4s have a different motor, but the removal process is similar. The C5 is similar as well. Hope this helps.
