Lines hanging from under the car?

Hi guys. For some reason I was poking around under my car today and noticed some lines hanging very low to the ground. They're not brake lines. At first I had no idea what it was but I think they might be the brake sensor lines? I kind of just zip tied them to something temporarily since I had to drive the car. Where are these lines supposed to go? Thanks, I appreciate it.

These photos are taken from the rear/passenger side. You're seeing the rear passenger side tire in the photos.

You should be fine just tie-wrapping them as you did.

Ok Thanks. Im just worried that I didn't leave enough slack and the suspension travel or putting the car on a lift was going to hurt something.

I believe at least one is for the handbrake. Tension might break the zip ties when it's used, but not a big deal.

It's the brake sensor line from what I can see. Same thing happened to mine. New sensor is very cheap on eBay
