Facelift headlight conversion issue

hey guys im hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. i have a 2007 s class and i recently did the updated 2010 headlight conversion. i bought the headlights, all the modules and the front sam module brand new. then i ordered the wiring harness off line. heres my issue. i installed everything and everything works fine except i get the adaptive headlight error every time i start the car. now i know the xenon control modules dont come programmed when bought new so i bought some used ones online from a 2011 s550 figuring that would fix my issue being they are already coded but it did not. so i was wondering if anyone has any ideas? the headlights and leds and blinkers all work perfectly i just keep getting that error and its annoying as hell lol. im very electronically savvy and i wired everything myself. is there some kind of wiring that could be off at the sam module that i didnt do or did wrong? i guess my main question is this, is there any wiring that needs to be done at the sam module in order for the adapative lighting to work or it that wiring only for the leds and blinkers? this is driving me nuts and i cant get a hold of the place i got the harness and programmed sam module from for tech support. sorry for the rambling but its driving me nuts any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

You need to reprogram 2 of your xenon control module to get the error lights for stop popping up on dash monitor. Call up sonic ms and they can reprogram it for u.
