KW V2's installed and now throwing codes

Hey everyone, I need to figure out why my car is throwing this vertical code for my headlights. I just had the car lowered, but now I'm getting a code about my headlights (xenon) and also a chassis code even though I have the edc connections installed. Would I be getting a chassis stabilisation code because of my headlight codes?

I went back to the shop and he was telling me there was a pin on the lower control arm that is now pushed up high which is throwing the code.

I am still having the issue. The guys that installed the coilovers said that portion was easy to understand. I talked to BMW and a mechanic was telling me that there are 2 sensors, 1 for the suspension that tells the car it's riding lower than normal and another 1 that is for the steering wheel. I have noticed that my steering wheel does not seem to be dead nuts center, but just barely cocked off to the right and when I do hold it straight it slightly goes to the left. I have NOT had an alignment done on the car yet. Do you think if I got an alignment the codes would reset?

Sort of. The guy that did my suspension said he realigned the fronts and the rears, but didn't have the new technology needed for the 2015 BMW. The car doesn't pull either direction and really feels just fine.
