Default Headlights wont go up or down

I replaced my bulbs with HIDs and went out last night to check the adjustment.
I used my stock lenses so the light was bright but scattered.
I turned them on and off several times, usually had to put them on bright to get them to go down, since I didn't install resistors.

Today I removed the headlights to free up my adjusters, and while I had them out I checked my switchback daytime running lights, because they seem dim.
I put everything back together and the headlights come on but wont go up or down, even on bright.
I checked all of the fuses and none were blown.
Is there a separate circuit for the raising and lowering, or is it the same as the lights?

I wired in a extra light socket, and bulb to act as a resistor and the buckets still wont go up or down, even with the car running.

So I gave up and reinstalled the stock bulbs, and the buckets STILL wont go up or down.

I don't think I burned up the motors that raise the lights but anything is possible?

Checked fuse #3 and 4. Both are fine. Checked every fuse in both boxes. They are all good.
Hot wired the motors and they go up and down.
Any suggestions?
