Mk5 VW Golf 2004 - changing Golf headlight motor - dunaird

Am looking to purchase replacement headlight of my Mk5 golf which has a leveling motor fitted. Is it easy to change the motor from one light unit to the other or is it more economical to just purchase a new unit with motor already fitted?

It is possible to swap the leveling motor,but usually the plastic ball and socket breaks as it has become brittle with the heat.Best get a complete unit ,ready to fit.You will need to drop the bumper forward to access the lower screws.
