FULLY STOCK XENON LOW BEAM, HIGH BEAM AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHT ERROR+ FLICKERING

Sooo i was filling up coolant one evening, i start the car and BAM. Both headlamps flickering and i got error codes for low beam headlamps, high beam, and license plate lights. Keep in mind these are all stock. I have no clue what it is. I might have spilled some coolant, maybe it hit the wire that runs to headlamp and short circuited it?

Take it to the dealer, you have a facelift coupe with Bi-xenon? Definately take it to the dealer.

Find an indie. Or first, try disconnecting your battery and see if it resets your error.
