Default Lowered Car Yesterday now Warning Light on

I finally got around to installing my Tein CST's yesterday that I bought back in January. Anyhow after I got the car back on the ground as soon as I started it I got a Headlight Leveling System Warning light on and it hasn't gone off. Does anyone know what I might have done or is this just a matter of readjusting headlights or something minor? I know there were leveling sensors on the control arms do these need to be adjusted after lowering the car are these for the headlights only?

FYI, I lowered mine with Tein CST and didn't have a problem.

Well I filled the car up with gas yesterday and didn't like the way it was sitting in the rear with a full tank, so I got under the car to raise the back end up a little.
I decided to unbolt the rear leveling sensor and just played with it and looked it over and it looked fine. So I bolted it back on and let the car down with the re-adjusted rear coil-overs and the light on the dash is off now and the auto leveling headlights are working again. Don't know what happened but I guess I will keep an eye on it but for now everything is working like it should again. And the car rides great and handles much better.
