One other thing that can happen to the headlights is that the rod across the front of the car that connects the two pods can get all rusty and grody. The inner fenders ought to keep slop from hitting this, but sometimes these rust out and people just remove them and throw them away -- then there's nothing to stop road slop from being thrown off the wheels and getting on to the underside of the headlight mechanism.
If you pull a wheel and then stick your head in the fender well with a flashlight and look forward, you'll be able to see the whole pod mechanism and evaluate whether or not it might help to clean it up. Spraying the pivot points with WD-40 might ease things up a bit, although it's just a temporary fix and has to be repeated periodically.
