When auto headlights I get a warning showing headlights flashing and a beeping, all lights are working fine though.

It's possible that there may be an issue with the IPS module which is part of the smart junction box. Can I ask if the headlight works when you get the warning? The best thing to do is perform a CAN scan, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is the location of the IPS module which is part of the smart junction box so you can check it out and replace it if the scan comes up with a code for it. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.

I would do a CAN scan but it sounds like the SJB is no good. Please let me know what happens.
