Default One Xenon headlamp aims down....help

I have a weird issue.... Both of the stock xenon headlights on my 2000 S4 were aimed correctly in the past. Recently the drivers side light has decided to aim right at the ground, while the passenger light remains at the correct level. If I turn the lights off and back on, the drivers side aims up to level, stops for a few seconds, then aims back down at the ground.

Im guessing that the wheel position sensors arent bad, as that would impact both headlamps...

anyone have an idea as to what is causing this???
