HID headlight correlation with passenger mirror

I noticed my driver side HID light was not working. Initially I thought it was the bulb, fuse, relay, etc. I switched all of these parts to the passenger side positions and they all worked so they were elimintaed as being the problem. I checked the wires that go from the inverter and plugs into the back of the HID bulb. After comparing the driver side with the passenger I noticed the driver side was lacking what look like metal teeth that probably conduct electricity to the bulb, which was found on the working passenger side. I tried to switch them, but the passenger side is not easily accessible like th driver side. After reading all of the posts on here I am beginning to wonder if it is the inverter. I also noticed that when my car is in reverse the passenger mirror no longer automatically adjusts downward. I do not know if this is strictly coincidental or if there is a correlation. I opened the fuse box located between the passenger door and the dash, but did not find a fuse that pertained to the mirror or headlight. Does anyone know if there could be a correlation or an easy fix to either problem or am I going to have to buy the $300 inverter? Much Love!

The switch for the side mirror must be in the center position for the auto-tilt to function. It probably just got moved into either the left or right position.

Mirror

Right about the mirror. It is now working so there is obviously no relationship between the two. Any suggestions for the HID?
