Still sounds like the ballast/control unit, as the lite still doesn't lite. The shutter is worked by a solenoid I think, not a motor. The 50 hz buzzing is probably the ballast on the bottom of the headlight assembly. Getting the headlight out is not too hard, push forward on the marker lite, pry out the little grill on that side with a plastic prybar, and 2 or 3 screws later out it comes, you don't have to drop the bumper shell. Also, the headlight wiring plug is the same from side to side, you can swap the ballast, bulb, and headlite assembly itself from side to side for testing purposes.
