Default Another "check headlight system" problem

Hi, so just got done installing Megan springs and now I have that error message. I figured I'd adjust the sensors...simple enough right? No. I made many adjustments and nothing worked. I finally just went ahead and unplugged both sensors but it's still on. Any ideas? I read that unplugging the sensors would make the headlight adjustments inop but also get rid of that light not it's still on.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Did you check the arm to make sure it's correct?

I mean the rear arm support to be 90degree instead of straight up

Is there any chance you could take picture of it?

Did you check the arm in the front as well?

Shouldn't disconnecting both sensors also turn the error message off?

If you can, take a pic of these arms for us to look at. Disconnecting the sensor won't turn the error off, maybe pulling the fuse will but you should try to fix this issue though.

That's what I would like to do. Would I have to use a hosting site for pics?

No, you can just upload them here. Easiest way is to click the image button at the top of the reply box, and then just drag and drop your pics.

These are the best pics I could take with the wheels on. Front is angled a hair downward like in the diagram but the rear on the car does not match the diagram unless I'm not understanding it correctly.
