You might also find that the slower one is more sensitive to bumps on the road.

If so, you might need to replace the rods which connect the headlight motor assy to the headlight assy.

They have a small bush in them which wears over time.

I bought a pair of new connecting rods for about $50 from mania (but havent had a chance to fit them yet)!

Hope this helps.
