Default Is something wrong with my lights?

I just got back my car from the body shop and I noticed that when I turn on the headlights they don't move up and down anymore. I remember before when I turned my car on, the lights would go up, then down, then level out. What could have happened?

if you were in a wreck, either they didn't reconnect the plug to the motors in the headlights, or the height sensors are unplugged or damaged. was it an insurance paid repair? if so, bring it back and tell them what's going on and they'll diagnose it and bill the insurance co since it was part of the damage from the wreck.

I checked the AFS and it's working correctly. And yes, it was an insurance repair. The lights were replaced. Maybe they forgot to plug something or a sensor is damaged. I'm going to give the shop a call. I don't think it's anything that I can fix myself.
