strange r53 xenon behavior

I've searched, found some threads, but none specific to my issue.

When I first start the car and turn the headlights on, they dip then auto level just fine. After about 5 minutes, they point straight down.

I'm guessing a sensor, but is there a way to tell which one? Any way to test them?

Thanks!

Remove drivers side wheel and check the level level sensor that is mounted to the control arm. Good luck diagnosing.
