auto leveling light jammed

If it's not too far off, there are adjusting screws accessible through the bar above the headlights to adjust the light up or down. I have the same problem and my left side light. It quit working several months ago and I did a manual leveling on it with no problem. Now that light it's just like most other cars that aren't self leveling. The right side one still levels automatically.

does yours do this as well or is it quiet?
im probably just gonna try the manual adjustment, if it frees it up great...if not ill just aim it.
most (not all) higher end cars with HID's have some sort of leveling feature. my CTS has load leveling rear suspension to keep the lights aimed at the same height, this also helps the ride when you add heavier items in the trunk or more people in the car.

it still makes a noise as if it is attempting to autolevel...this is why i say jammed and not a dead motor or other electrical issue.

It's certainly a lot cheaper to manually adjust it if possible than to replace the auto adjusting mechanism. As far as I'm concerned on mine as long as the headlight is still working manually I'm just going to leave it alone.
