Headlight level adjust

The headlight level adjust warning light came on yesterday and today on my 04.
I was parked on a slope with lights off. Later after parking on level ground, still with lights off, the light was off again. First time I have seen this; has anybody had a problem with this?

Mine was on/off for about a week before it just went away on its own. My lights are now still visibly adjusting and working just fine for the last couple months. I've had a few electrical type gremlins that have occurred after:

1)car got snow pushed up under hood (heavy snowfall, plowing my way home after work)
2) had to drive through pretty deep water (flooded underpass)

Wondering if maybe moisture can cause this

it's hard to notice the change. I see it best when i'm parked on uneven ground facing a wall so I can see the cutoff line.

turn headlinghts on while facing a wall or something after car has been off for a while/overnight, they'll immediatly move as soon as you turn them on.

Other way it to park up agaisnt a wall or the garage door. turn on lights.. pop the trunk. Go sit in/on the back of the trunk and watch for the lights to move after about 10 seconds.
