Headlight Aim Malfunction

Hey guys so I just got my H&R springs installed on my 235xi and after install I now have a "Headlight Aim Malfunction" in dash. Has anyone else gotten this before? Thank you in advance!

I got the same thing after getting my H&R springs installed. I dont really know how to remove it so i just left it alone, i heard some coding is necessary to remove.

I installed the springs 2 days ago, I didn't get the "malfunction" message but I noticed the lights are aiming too low compared to before the springs.

On my VW's you needed vagcom to raise the aiming height. Is it the same here? do I need to code something?

headlight you adjust with a screw driver.... there is a hole that leads to a white screw on top of the headlight....

usually the headlight malfunction appears when the headlight leveling sensor is not installed right on the rear
