Default Any thoughts please

OK, so I replaced the dynamic headlight control module on my 01 Allroad and when I started her back up I now have the Air-Ride Suspension warning light on as well as the headlight dip message. Prior to replacement it was just the dip message. I know the module was the problem with the dip, as it was diagnosed by Audi Dealer and Independent shop. My guess is it is back to Audi to have the car flashed so it will recognize the new module? Any additional thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Oy. Long shot, but try disconnecting the battery for 15-20 minutes to clear all codes.
Or, do it properly with a vag-com if you've got it.

I hate those headlight codes. A lot of the time it's a stupid thing that can be fixed with a vag-com. I've encountered the dipped headlight thing 3 times and each time I fixed it fumbling around with settings and whatnot. I've no clue what I did.

Well I could try the battery again, however the battery was disconnected when I replaced the module, as a general precaution when working with an electrical component. With regard to the VAG-COM I don't have one, however I would be interest in one if I knew a little more about which one I need, as it seems there are multiple types with varying prices?
