Default HID auto-leveling from new installation

Hey, the insurance company corrected my headlight issue I told you guys about and put HIDs back in, I got the car back from the body shop today and the lights were angled low, I manually adjusted them to the correct height and they seem fine now, but I'm wondering if they need to be "calibrated" with a VAG-COM? I figured maybe upon installation they would automatically set, but apparently not, let me know if you've had experience with this issue, thanks!!
