Default auto level headlight error

I just got the car back from the shop after putting neuspeed springs on (very nice btw). When the car was turned on the auto headlight warning came up. A while later it went off. On the way home came on a second time.

any ideas on what to do?

thanks

It has to do with auto levelers and lower than stock height of the car.

Default I get the same warning once in a while, and my car is stock sport susp.

No codes thrown, so I'm kinda living with it waiting for it to do something worse.

Default I got the error as well right after coilover install.

In my case when they lowered the rear subframe the auto leveler (see pic) was fully extended and then when they raised the subframe back up the autoleveler buckeled back the wrong way. To fix it I just removed the screws (item 2 in the pic) put it back the right way. It took about 5 min.

Default Tech Bulletin on this, if only when lights are on auto

it is supposedly something to do with the rear view mirror, and tech bulletin calls for replacement. It's an old bulletin though and when I went to dealer for it, they said could not duplicate and didn't replace anything. I think that may have been due to me running out of the auto lights mode though.

Default I get the same warning too

I get the same error once in awhile as well ... but I am not running with lights on auto. Running on OEM sport suspension. Last time dealer replaced a part ... but still get the error light. Always goes away on the next start up .. more of an anoyance than anything else
