If the adaptive function fails, but the lights in the unit are working (HID, angles, high-beam, etc.), and you get an in-dash error -- its the control unit:

If the main HID light is out (based on your picture...it is), then its the ballast. You can swap out the bulbs, ballast, and adaptive module from the working light to test -- won't cost you a dime. Just make sure the light is dry before testing:

If both the light and adaptive are not working, then you'll need both. Again, you can swap it all out from the working headlamp to test without spending any money.
------
Note: From your pictures, the angles seem to be working correctly -- that's not your problem.
Those loose resistors are from an aftermarket LED angel eye kit/HID angel eye kit. If its an LED angel eye kit, then you'll see those resistors inside the lamp. Unfortunately, although sloppy, that's how it is (
http://www.jekusa.com/ebay/P/HLB-H8-20W-W.jpg).
If you have an HID angel kit, you'll have an additional ballast outside the lamp...along with a hole/grommet on the light cap. If you DON'T have an external ballast or those holes in the light caps, then you DO NOT have an HID angel kit.
------
In any case, you're fine on that front man -- the angels are ok. Your main HID on the right is out -- it has nothing to do with those resistors/angel eyes. As far as the condensation, the previous owner probably didn't close the cap properly. Its not uncommon as there is very limited space to maneuver behind the right lamp. Even when you think you got it closed properly, sometimes it isn't.
DO THIS:
1) Swap out the HID bulb from the good light...
Note: If it works, then you know its just a bulb. If it doesn't...its the ballast.
2) If after the bulb swap, it doesn't come on, then swap the ballast from the good light. The light should come on even if the adaptive is not working.
3) Test the adaptive function -- I sent you a PM about it. Just like Dak said, make sure the headlight switch is in the AUTO position...then turn the car on or cycle to the first position. If the adaptive is not working properly, then swap out the control unit and retest.
These simple swaps will help you identify the issue without spending any unnecessary money -- then simply buy what you need.
FINALLY, on the right lamp -- once you fix it...make sure you put the cap back on properly before reinstalling the light assembly. You'll thank me later.

If you have a headlight malfunction your adaptive headlights will not work from either side.

Sorry man, this is not true. The adaptive system works independently from one another. If your adaptive function is out on one side, it WILL NOT cause the other side to fail. There are independent error codes for both sides. There are also codes for the HID bulb malfunction (if I remember correctly).
Adaptive motor failure codes:
9CC0 - SMC Right defective
9CBF - SMC Left defective

MONEY $AVER:
Buy the ballast and module from eBay (used OEM not aftermarket). Not worth buying new. You can get a ballast for $50, and control unit will cost you approximately the same:
