ABS Light on 1999 Toyota Avalon?
Because the ABS computer need to know what your wheels are doing, they have wheel speed sensors (wss) at each wheel, you will have hopefully unplugged not cut the wiring for it, its usually located in the hub assembly itself. when the ECU measures in incorrect or open circuit, it disables the ABS system and turn on the warning light to let you know it somethings gone wrong.
You need to check if the strut you changed has the wss plugged in. You may also need to clear the ABS and main ECU's of fault codes to extinguish your warning light. to check its all good usually need to drive it a reasonable speed before a faultcode will register, hope that helps.

ywah and if that appears to be all good, trace the wiring back from the hub, its probably been disonnected, or said mechanics have squashed the wire, in which case they will have to replace the wss, easily done!

take it back to who worked on it and tell them whats going on
Possibly he knocked or unpluged the wire to the wheel sensors when he put the struts on and forgot to plug one of the sensors back in, take it back to them and explain the situation.
