Height sensor on left rear conrol arm?

Anyone know what the height sensor is for on the left rear control arm. We thought it may be for the headlights as they seem to move up on dips but were not sure?

As far as I know, the height sensor for the HID headlamps is on the left front arm. Rear one ?

Could be a ride height sensor or a wheel speed sensor.

It's your leveling sensor for the Xenons. There's another up front.
