Whoops. Xenon problem

So while I was switching out my high beam bulbs, I unplugged one of my Xenon bulbs by mistake, and then put it back. But now the autoleveling feature no longer works, and the headlights are pointing straight up into the sky. I manually lowered them down a bit, but theyre still WAY too high. Any ideas?

Well, in the manual, it says the xenons will out live the car and should never need service.

All I can think of is trying to reset the ECU. Just unhook the positive terminal from your battery using a 13mm.

If that doesn't work, dealer.

Yeah, I unhooked the battery for a little while...didn't work though. I called my dealer, hopefully they won't give me a hassle.

The lights are still working, its just that they no longer level out.

Well, I brought the car in for service today...and after two hours they still couldnt figure it out, so they put me in a loaner. Hopefully they'll figure it out by tomorrow.
