    I've searched but have been unable to find any useful info on fixing my driver's side HID highbeam. From what I was able to find, I read that there is a mechanism that repositions the bulb when flipping to highbeam. When I engage my highbeams only the passenger side goes to highbeam. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This could be a problem with the solenoid in the bulb, swapping the bulbs over would prove this, but can be difficult if you have large fingers.

    You might also check your fuses / relays to see if something isn't right. Again, swap left with right and see if the behavior changes.
