HELP PLEASE !!!!! what is this sensor and what do I do about it ????

I'm about to put in my rear upper control arms and seen this sensor attached to the rear drivers side , what is it ? Cam I leave it unplugged or do I gotta adapt it to the new control arm ???
the only ride height thing in my car would be the headlights, so is this a sensor for their adjustment? If so it goes bye-bye as I want new heads anyways
help please !!!!!

Yes, it's for auto-leveling of the headlights.

Yep, good job, seen people just zip tie them in place. Some Dremel the bracket and clamp it with worm clamp.
