need help with 03+ headlights and auto level on a 01...

ever since i got the lights put in by the body shop it seems that they've always been shooting up in the air...so i lowered them to the lowest setting and everything was fine...well until i started the car agian...they went down then back up into the air (im pretty sure it was the auto levelling that did it...so im wondering now if i can get that feature disables via star diagnostics from the dealer...or...is there a fuse or something else that i can disconnect in order to get rid of the problem...any help appreciated and thanks in advance...
