Can you hear the motors running?
Yes - the gears maybe stripped. Inspect drive gears.
No - check that there is power to the motors. Pull the connectors and measure voltage with a volt meter or test light.

I assume you've checked fuses. There's a headlight control module mounted inside the front left fender. Sound like yours may have failed.

Good luck, congrats, and welcome to the best year for the C4.
