check the automatic headlamp adjusters .. the little arms often pop off and need putting back on.

Front nearside wishbone, rear near side suspension arm - quite a way in near the centre line

If they are OK then it might be the gubbins inside the headlamp itself, the plastic ones break and can be replaced with metal ones

On mine it's just behind the sill on the rear near side.

It looks like a Thottle Position Sensor with an arm and a tie rod on it.
It's mounted on a small bracket and the rod goes to the susspension arm.

As Entwood says, on the nearside front lower wishbone arm and another attached at the rear nearside suspension.  It reads the relative movement of the suspension to the bodywork and thus adjusts the fall of the headlamp beam.

It has a ball and socket type joint which pops off and therefore needs puting back on.  Use a wee dab of grease to get it in place and lubricate the joint.  Might be worth a cabletie wrapped round it to ensure it doesn't pop off again.   :y
