Default Anyone know what this light means in the cluster?

I was wondering does anyone know what this light means in my cluster? This light came on after my autobody guy installed my front bumper.

it means that your lights are not leveling properly.

There is an adjustment in the rear of the car. Here is a pic



the other possibility is that the motor or motors have gone bad

It means to move the hair drier up and down while drying your hair.

Thanks Bernie but let me ask you this.

So my autobody guy found me knew headlights cause one of my headlight was cracked. So he found two of them brand new after market for a $350. He told me that these headlights are the same exact headlights as the OEM. So I figured he knows what he is talking about.

Now I go and check my headlights and I pulled out a hidden plug (hidden by the autobody guy). I believe these aftermarket headlights dont have levelers and this is an extra plug he couldnt install.

Am I correct on this guys?

Its possible, but most of the aftermarket replica headlights have the leveler socket. Its a black cylinder sticking out of the back of the headlight
