Just had mine checked out for this and the dealer said they couldn't find an error in the computer. Ugh, this is why I hate dealers.

Somewhere in the DIY section is a howto for rebuilding the headlight sensor units. Maybe you should take them out and see if they need to be rebuilt?

Why bother, if there's a TSB and I still have warranty protection.

Because the TSB could have already been done, and as you said, the dealer can't find anything wrong.

Sometimes if you want it done right....

I am the original owner, the TSB has not been done, and if this dealer won't take care of it I'll find one that will.

No I haven't recently change my suspension.
