Ahhh the famous Christmas tree lights. Unfortunately that is likely to be the beginning of a failing air compressor (mine did the exact same) over time it will get worse and the lights will come on more and more regularly as your drive. Until the pump gives up totally and they come straight on with ignition.
Sorry
Sorry

all brake lights work next is code check i think all came on this morning
with it being complicated it's always better to get the codes read, just so it may steer u in the right direction
things i've heard that can cause the xmas lights are
bad battery
alternator
back bulbs , but you've checked them
brake pedal switch
3 x connectors behind the passenger side wheel arch
ecu box behind the battery , is behind a small cover, the terminals can get wet or a bad connection on the pins
hope that helps a little bit

i know a mechanic had it to change wheel bearings and suspension arms could this lead to anything ?
assume the lights weren't there before hand
maybe he's disturbed some wiring at the front , the 3 x connector plugs at the front passenger side

As mentioned work your way through that list and hopefully you'll find the cause. Mine turned out to be the compressor and that too had recently been "refurbed" new seals etc

Your right there!
suspension light could have been ur compressor
the light was it like a car with an arrow on it, or was it orange or red
due to lights showing errors u really need it plugged in, can then see what errors have been stored
there's many a time i wanted to send mine for a time out, lol
here's the discovery section for u

it does grind sometimes on the passenger front as it its stuck or trying to stop on for about 3 sec
sounds like u need to get ur mechanic back on it , especially if u can hear any grinding
when he plugs it in , he should then get the fault codes and also test the live data for each wheel
i would be very cautious driving it , if at all seeing the fault is unknown
always better to be safe than sorry
