Default ISO Drivers side headlight

Does anyone happen to have a drivers side headlight they would want to get rid of? The range control motor inside of mine has died and there must be a leaky seal somewhere because there is some moisture inside the lens.

Thanks in advance.

I have an extra 2007 LED version drivers side headlight, but don't believe it will work for you.

Cheers!

Range control motor could be several other things unless you've actually traced it to the motor... and IIRC there's a TSB about small amounts of moisture in the lights being normal "under certain circumstances"...
Hey, the car only cost ~$100k new; ya can't expect them to actually seal the lights completely!

In case it IS an acceptable amount if water and you decide to just replace the motor, A8PartsUK has prices (on used parts) low enough to offset shipping, just get the same PN motor (not the housing because they're mostly driving on the wrong side of the road), but a new motor would probably be a wiser choice.

Plus there was a thread that I participated in about getting the range control error whenever it was humid outside (rain or just hot, humid weather). I screwed up and did not fully latch one of the rear lamp covers. After drying the assembly interior out with a hair dryer & properly latching the cover, it has been fine for at least two years now.
