driverside headlight not leveling

2005 xenon driver side headlight is not leveling I noticed it this morning when I went to work. Passenger side works fine. could it be the level sensors?? there is one on the driver side front control arm and passenger side rear control arm. Does that mean that side they control or do both of them work together?? Or might it just be in the housing?? I had a lot of moisture on the inside of the glass too....

Here is some link to where we talked about the headlight motors and mounts, When its bith its usually the levelers, one in the front and one in the rear but they control the levels of each headlight together, but it sounds like the motor inside one light or the mount internal.

Thanks and hope that helps.

one tip...
The OEM headlights are "Hella" brand...common brand for driving and fog lights...
If you need to by a replacement, they are sold on Amazon for about 60% what the dealers want..so about $344.
