WHY DON’T MY HEADLIGHTS WORK?????

Just got my c55 back from the dealer after 4 weeks and 2 new ABS modules and 1 new ABS pump. Long story but they ate the cost of the pump and the second module was under warranty. I had the dreaded ABS/ESP LIGHT on and it would go into limp mode.
anyway now I don’t have any lights at all, low or high beam. Dash lights up “low beam right and left and high beam left and right” Lights don’t work in auto and obviously not in manual.
im not sure if it’s a coincidence or what, but do you think they upset anything at the dealer, or perhaps the electronics with the abs units did anything? this car is starting to drive me crazy.
i checkEd the fuses and they are good (#62,63). What else could it be? I’m at my wits end with the car as my wife is supposed to daily it this summer.

It sounds like a defective headlight switch. My old 202 had a faulty one which caused all sorts of issues with the lights. A relatively inexpensive fix and a good place to start:
