Ah yes, sorry, I missed the previous post.
How do I get to these options in ISTA? I'm pretty new with ISTA, so i'm not very crafty around it.
I will check that as soon as I get back from the vacation!

But since the headlights were repaired, it’s not impossible that they screwed up something with heights.

1.Tree of modules
2. AHL (click on it)
3. Then on left bottom corner I have SG functions or something like that button - click on it (in other languages it may be just something related to calling a function, e.g. call up ECU...)
4. Then the second tab is available and somewhere probably under the general information or something like that there will be a front and back reading for this sensor to choose from (there will be more readings there, but you will find them on the list) you need to select these two and click to give the reading on the right

It is very possible that your sensor is slightly pushed out more or does not work at all, the readings will show a lot of information, but in addition, it is worth taking a look at the wheel arches to see if this sensor is attached, not moved, does not fly freely, etc.

Great, thanks for the steps!

The last one I checked last week when I did the brakes. Sensors are there and it looks like they are correctly attached.

Just a quick update on this one (I hate to leave the topics without any sort of answer):

I checked both leveling sensors. In my garage, they give me 2.10 (front) and 3.33 (back), and when I press the car, they change slightly. So I assume they work, and I believe SMCs work also now (I tested the movements of the headlights in ISTA). But I still have no idea how I managed to code them, that is to overcome that error. I just repeated the procedure a few times in a span of a few weeks, and it worked - so no good answer to that problem.

The position of the headlight I had to set manually, they were really pointed too high for some reason.
I still have to tweak them a little bit so I can see better, but I don't flash people anymore.
And I need to fix the right bulb, it looks like it moved a bit to the left from its place in the projector itself.
And generally, something is wrong with the right headlight - the screw for moving "left-right" seems like it is stuck - it tilts the light, it doesn't move it "left-right."

But in general, the lights are a lot better now.
