SO this is a bit strange, but finally got to replacing my headlight bulbs last night. Today after starting the car the CEL is on. Haven't got a chance to do anything yet, but was wondering if it's just a weird coincidence or could messing with the battery (on/off multiple times) caused something to happen.....
Anyone has any ideas?
One more thing that's strange, my fog lights no longer work after the work yesterday.

Hmmm, definitely odd. None of the three (headlights, CEL and fog lights) should be related. Might be coincidence or maybe a fuse or something with the battery going on and off...I'd scan for a code first and start there.

Only way to know if its related or coincidence is to check what DTC is set.

For the fogs there is a fuse for them in the fuse block next to the battery. Fuse #59.

P0603 code which from a quick google returns Internal Control Module (Keep Alive Memory) Error. It would appear that having the negative cable off for too long triggered it. Hopefully that's all it is.
Now the fog lights need to be figured out and I'm back to 100% :)
