Its related to the HID lighting self leveling.

First thing to check is the level sensors, one on the front passenger wishbone and one on the passenger rear trailing arm.

Make sure they are intact and the control arms are free and still attached.

could be as simple as the control arm popped off.  Simple ball joint type, similar to accelerator cable.  A cable tie, cleverly used, can be a work around until you get another from a breaker...

more likely the little ball joint has popped off.  Next most likely is a fubar servo in the headlight.

Does that mean a new headlight then?

Hope Broocie's right ;D

Its been standing for a while, might need a bit of freeing up of the ball joint on the level sensors.

WD40 is no good, its not water you need to disperse, it needs lubeing.

What you have to do is get the ball joints free because its when these seize that the arm gets popped out of the sensor.

You will need penetrating oil and once nice and free slap some grease on them!

On the subject of HIDs, I notice one of my lights "twitching a little" sometimes, for example, when I'm sitting in traffic. The beam edge seems to flick up and down a little as if the servo is a little unstable.

Is this a case of TADTS or have I got a problem developing?

Probably just wants the sensor arms actuating a few times....
