It's possible to fix a Lazy headlight. Depending on which one moves slowest, you have to unbolt the swingarm from the electric motor and match it to the other side when both are in resting position.
Once this is done usually they're pretty close, and all that is left is the max height adjustment via the double sided (toe rod-like) ball joint links.

I've done it w/ both my cars to get the sleepies in synch.

What I REALLY want to know is.. My left headlight will sag 1/8" after driving (with pbm coils) for a decent amount of time.
If I flip the lights up and down they reset and the left one is perfect height again.

I think this is due to the magnets in the electric motor being old and unable to hold the light steady with stiff coilovers.
I should make a video about this to explain. It's been bugging me since I retrofitted hid's... Ends up making the left cutoff sag after a drive. wah wahhh.
