Each headlamp assembly has it's own fuse and or relay. check these first. after that you can check continuity of the power wire from the relay. also check the ground wire

Does your cluster intensity decreases when you hide the photocell? The photocell aperture is on the upper left corner of the dash cluster. If it does not, this gentleman can repair it for you or provide the repair kit: http://www.batee.com/corvette/dcrg/photocell/

Left headlight wont go up

98 corvette headlights not working

If you can verify current going out of the main dash switch towards the headlamps, then I would go relay hunting. My guess is the switch, since the brights and fog lamps work on demand (dimmer switch pulled).

You will need to rebuild the headlight motors. You can buy the headlight motor rebuild kits with full instructions from ZIPS.com or any of the online Corvette restoration parts suppliers.

Removing the whole pop head lights assembly from my 1997 corvette

Raise the headlights, either with the switch or manually by turning the knob on the headlight motor counter-clockwise.
Unplug the lights NOW to avoid an accidental closing on your fingers,
Remove the 3 philips screws holding the black plastic surrounding the headlights, and slide it forward, there is a small clip on the top that helps hold it to a corresponding clip at the top of the headlight,
Look inside the cavity and you can see the 5 nuts/bolts ( 6 on later years ) that need to be removed,
If you are on the driver's side you can now remove the whole assembly, on the passenger's side you must first unplug the headlight door control module.
