Default Weird headlight/breaklight sensor issue

Had my front bumper 'straightened out' by a local guy after someone backed up on me on the street. Now I'm getting seriously annoying headlight/breaklight sensor alerts. All the lights are working, but when I hit break when my headlights are off, I get the 'break light out' warning. When my headlights are ON, i get the 'headlight out' warning when I step off the breaks. Any idea what's causing it? Sounds like when he was fixing the bumper something must have gotten cross-wired...

He probably caused a short in the wiring. I'd have him take a look for any pinched wires.
