Could there be a harness the shop forgot to reconnect when reinstalling the headlight assemblies? One way to find out would be to look at your lights when you first turn them on AND your engine is running and see if either or both go through the startup process. If they are moving like they are supposed to, you won't miss it, as you know.

Ok but is the AFS initializing properly as I was saying? Just want to know if the motors are getting power and functioning on startup, even if some other issue kicks in later.

I'm going to assume the bodywork was front-end? Sounds like the headlight wiring may have been disconnected, damaged, or is just loose.

What was the body work?

I definitely would check to see if AFS is working first. Park in front of a wall, and start the car to see if they move. Or have a buddy start the car and you check it out for yourself.

I know this reply is late but i have seen some other posts where the AFS lights blink because of the afs sensor is not reset after major changes in the supension or ride hight...

The afs light donot move when the car is still, it move after the car is at atleast 5 mph or so.

There are sensors in the rear axles which can be adjusted. when chaning them you might see a change in headlight aim.
hope this helps.
Also you can bent down and see the sensor bolt thrugh the rims. Its rear to the wheel bolts
