Was there a sensor or wire that might have been incorrectly reinstalled during my lowering process that you might know about?

Thanks for your assistance here.

If I'm not mistaken the sensor for the lights is on the rear control arm of the rear driver wheel. It's a little plastic assembly consisting of two plastic bars and one attaches to control arm, the other to a sensor with a pivot point to allow for compression. It in essence measures the distance the body travels when under load or weight, ie. Extra passengers in rear. The pivot point should be towards the wheel. If it was disconnected for reasons of strut fitment/removal, there is a chance it was inverted at time of reassembly. See pic below, it is in the far right and i actually disconnected this particular assy and in the picture the elbow is facing the wrong way, should be towards wheel. If i am wrong, some one correct me.
