I think you have the same problem I had. FIRST OFF!!! When it does the low beam crap does the high beam logo on the dash come on but REALLY REALLY faded? Squeeze the connectors with the headlamps up and if it cures it then the connector is the problem. and you need too....

1. Buy Electrical Grease
2. Buy electrical cleaner
3. Undo the harness to the headlight assembly and clean it
4. Grease and reinstall

Should cure it. Be sure you press them back down really good and use the locking pin.

I think you need a torx 20? and just a 10mm. Two pivots bolts on top with torx/10mm ends. Pop them out and then the 10mm on the pivot arm then three 10mm bolts that hold the motor in. Cake.
