01 2.0 Vectra Headlight Leveler - Simoncelli58

Hello there, the Headlight ajuster in my Vectra wont work. I'v checked the fuses and they seem fine. Will there be a Relay for this as well ? And if so where about is it (maybe it's been removed for a 'Dark' reason by the last owner) Oh, the car has been in a bump and repaired prior to me buying it. Any help would be welcome- Thanks.

Can you hear the motors operating at all? If so then what I suspect has happened is during the bump the motor mechanisms have detached themselves from the back of the headlights. IIRC, they are on a cup & ball type assembly and the ball needs clipping back into the cups - probably easier to remove the headlights if this is the case.

Oops-They work fine now with the Ignition on ! I had been trying with the lights on but ignition off. Like my brain at the time-thanks anyway for your reply.
