Default HID Headlight issue, stepper motor

Hi all,

My passenger side headlight has suddenly dropped to the floor, it goes through the cycle on start up of raising vertically with the right but then drops, I've tried brutals screw fix but it appears the brackets are fine as the lights are solid in the housing and the screw makes no difference, so I purchased jaguar diagnostic software for my laptop and an obd reader and after doing a diagnostics it came back with headlamp stepper motor circuit failure. Has anyone tried changing the stepper motor? is it an easy thing to change? I purchased a second hand headlight before I bought the software and this headlight was suffering with the broken fixings inside so sent it back, on hindsight I should have taken the stepper motor out and tried it. just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and solved it. also any visual references would be helpful in doing the repair.

My right side HID headlight leveler motor seems to be DOA. The left side makes noise and I can see the headlight move upward when starting the car. Right side doesn’t move at all. So I guess I need to find a replacement motor to install.
