Adaptive headlights not working???

Long story short I had to replace a ballast on my driver side headlight..both lights turn on but neither one of the headlights are having any kind of movement like they used to plain out when turned on now nothing at all....the lght I replaced is pointing straight at least while the other seems to be staring at the ground I don't think both motors are toast is there a fuse or something that controls the adaptive hid's? Been searching online and here on the forums to no avail...

Having a similar issue after replacing a bulb, the actual housing the bulb is in moved while taking it out.
Now it doesn't move around with the steering wheel, doesn't do the "cycle" at start-up, and isn't centered either...

Did you fix yours, or did you take it to the dealership ?

I adjusted them manually so they're pointing straight they still don't move though
