replaced strut, AFS off light blink, thanks MyLparts
bought set of 4 strut from MyLparts and got them 2 days later, they ship super quick, and parts are exactly what I need, will buy from again!
kinda regret not going coilover, they cost less than a set of 4 strut and a lot less work, but my 450h has the sport setting which i don't wanna loose.
anyway, took it to Sin City DIY in Las Vegas where you could rent the lift and work on your own car, or with a help of one of their mechanic, we got right to it, 4 hours later, new strut are on, car ride like a dream
BUT!
AFS light won't stop blinking, did quite lot of google/forum search, seems like lot of people experiences this issue after Tanabe NF spring and they could get this fix by playing with the AFS sensor on the driver side back wheel, in which I did, but no luck getting this going, did we break something? what's the correct position we should set it at? should I correct them on the front wheel as well?? my headlight is aiming where it suppose to but i don't like having error light flashing on my dash, any help would greatly appreciated

i watched this video before heading to the shop, some place told me rear seat gotta go, but found out its easily access from the trunk after removing some liner,
i gotta say its a 2 person job, sure 1 person is doable, but as a beginner first time doing it, its best doing it with 2 person, use a lift as well, i found a place in Vegas where you could rent lift + tools + certified mechanic (if needed they are around) for $30/hr.

It took me no more than 10mins to fix the AFS.

ok, took it back to the shop and attempted to mess with the arm again while the car is on the "drive on lift" with go pro attached to my windshield pointing at my dashboard with wifi live image feed to my phone, no luck, mess with the rear and front AFS sensor doesn't do anything...
i think i really broke something here, what should i look for next? AFS arm or some other parts i need to replace?
