The module that fails and causes the error is located under the headlight assembly so it has nothing to do with replacing the headlight. Water or condensation inside the headlight causes a short which in turn ruins the module. I'm not sure if the seal was the cause of mine failing but it could have been because I did open them up at one time to install new Mtec AE's. Condensation can form regardless if the headlight has ever been opened though, just a shitty design.
