Headlight Adjustment

[MattPrice]

Anyone had problems on the electric headlight adjustment? When you switch the headlights on they go through an automatic test cycle, whereby the lights drop and re level. On several occasions now, both lights and now just the nearside one don't move and remain in the lowest setting - they're great for lighting your toes up as you drive!! I've usually found that this happens after I've opened the bonnet: but when I close it I make sure that it's never slammed. Any ideas what the problem is or the cure? It's a 2002 Cooper.
