Default Headlight auto alignment on MC Titanium Hatch

My car is just back from the panel beater where one of the headlights was replaced entirely.

I'm finding that when driving at night and I come to a full stop, the headlights do their auto alignment dance, in much the same way they do when you switch on the headlights at night.

Anyone experienced this, or do I need to head back to the panel beater?

I'd be heading back to the panel beater. Check whether the height adjustment still works on that side too.

loose connection / headlight not secured , which triggers re-alignment when jiggling to a stop?
Screws tend to go missing in some panel shops (in my experience.....). Refitting headlights is also the apprentive level task. Be thankful it wasn't dropped and smashed (experience again, but not my car fortunately, was just made from unobtainium).

So they're not supposed to do this everytime you pull up at the lights ?

to qualify.........as in, only when the lights are first switched on.
Have you tried moving the light with your hand (loose fitment) ? If tight, then I'd suggest electrical issue.
(but I'm no sparky.......)
