The cornering motor is the thing labeled "MF13" in your picture. I can pretty much guarantee that the wiring is split and shorting or broken. The headlights are branded Hella. You might be able to get new wiring from them. I have the same issue and have attempted to repair it twice by completely disassembling the headlight and repairing the wiring. The problem I've had is the more I fix the wiring the more the wiring falls apart. I've given up on repairing it.
The Adaptive Motor (V318) is inside the Headlight and I can't change it after all, I need to change the headlight housing and as a new one it's very expensive! I will try to get a good condition used one the next week.
After I returned my headlight, the lights self leveling is now barely working, I can note a tiny vertical movement when starting the engine! it was fully operational before and I have no errors on my dash expect Adaptine Light Defective, is there a way to reset it or something?

The motor I was trying to change is the Leveling Motor which is shown in the picture (V48)

Do u think buying a good state used headlight housing is a good idea? or this problem will just happen in the used headlight
I have the problem in my left unit...

You could also take it apart and replace the wiring or have someone replace the wiring for you. I pretty sure the problem is the wiring not the motor or other components. A good used headlight is good alternative.
