E46 Xenons pointing at the floor, where do I start?

[StuntmanMike]

I have a coupe with factory fitted Xenons, last night the didn't do the little self level thing but seemed to just point at the floor.
Going to wash it in a it then start on the headlights, what goes wrong with these, where do I start looking.
Thanks.

Thanks Nick, I'll be looking in a bit, I'll let you know.

I'll realign them temporarily anyway, the car will do two journeys this week, so no great shakes.
You can realign them simple enough.

Right, the link is fine, the drivers side light works as it should, the passenger side doesn't move at all, there is no link on the passenger side.

There should only be one on the front and one on the back. Don't think there is meant to be one on the front passenger side.

The other one is buried quite deep in the rear suspension.

st, Ive got the headlight stripped down now.

Right, this is where we are.
I have removed both headlamps and cleaned them both up.
Both levelers work if plugged into the drivers side loom.
So, does the rear sensor control the nearside only?
If not, the fault is in the loom on the nearside somewhere.

Update, stripped both headlamps, cleaned them up, polished the glass, both work perfectly now.
I don't like it when I haven't found the fault.
So the cars back together now, I reconnected the washers as well, they have never worked in 5 years of ownership, I couldn't see anything wrong, it promptly emptied 2.5 litres of washer fluid all over the road, ho hum, job for next weekend then.

Roofer, the bloody headlights failed again last night.
That's a job for next weekend now, I'm a bit hungover.
