Are your low beam headlights still doing the up and down initialization "dance" when you start the engine at night? Have you checked the height control sensor underneath the car? The little lever or related parts can fail due to corrosion or damage.

Then the headlight leveling system was broken when you got the car. I was only guessing that the problem is the switch on the suspension since you said the car is bagged.

Did the headlight leveling warning in the dash show up only after the car was bagged or was it on when you got the car?

check your leveling sensors behind the front and rear wheels. they are either broken or are adjusted beyond the read of the system. bags tend to do this, especially when fully aired out over stretching or even breaking the attachment arms.
