Right. Found the sensor, replaced. But still same problem. The scan it said about the right headlight motor, i tried the connections, all looks ok. Could be the motor or the sensors on the suspensions ? Where can i find the suspension sensors, and how to check / acces them ?
Thanks

Why don't you post a copy of the scan so we can see what's going on,

If you had level sensor issues it would effect both lights not one, so my feeling is you actually have a problem with that headlight

Can you post a picture of the main screen when you open Xenon Range window [55] please.
Also if you could attach the full scan in a form of txt document please

Also could you check the fuses 43 and 44 on the main fuse carrier on the passenger side.

On each headlight connector pins 1 and 2 are for the headlights motors. They go back to the xenon range module behind the cluster as you know, pins 18 and 19, then pins 2 and 3 from the module go to can separating connector above the fuse box.
Pins 4 go to fuses 43 and 44 mentioned above.
Pins 14 on each headlight are earth.

I guess if fuses are fine, especially the one for the side in question, they are 10A btw, then you could check resistance on each cable, between the module and headlight end.

Providing as much informations would only help and speed up the process of finding the issue
