Right adaptive headlight not turning with the car

I have a 2011 e92 335I with the adaptive headlights and i noticed that the right side of the headlights were not turning and adapting with the car while the left do. The light still shines as bright as the other but it doesn't move at all when i turn the steering. Does anyone know a f cix to this problem or is the headlight completely bricked.

Is this while driving, or stationary? I think there is a speed threshold (15 or 20 mph?) where you have to be going above a certain speed for them to work right. I thought mine were hosed, but then I read that and tested while driving and everything was fine.

Its both driving and at a standstill. like it does the adjustment thing when you atratt it up but then it just points in one location and doesn't move when the other one does.

Do you get an error on the dash? Usually if the adaptive or self-leveling motor goes bad, you'll get a warning on the cluster for it. Also make sure the headlights are in the "auto" position. Adaptive won't work otherwise.

There doesn't appear to be any code. And the motor works but it doesn't do anything while drive. When I start the car at night the headlight moves around and levels itself but it doesn't function while driving.

The lights will only turn when the headlight switch is set to "auto".
