OEM xenon projector conversion with auto level sensors from salvage

I've found a similar model year R56 at a local junkyard that I'm going to attempt to salvage the projectors from. Is there any advice you guys have for me regarding what additional components I need to pull?

If I understand the diagrams correctly, I'm pulling the complete projector assembly with connected ballast and control unit. What I'm unsure of is the auto level sensors which are apparently mounted to the driver side control arms? How hard is it to access these and the associated wiring harness?

There's also one in the rear as well......not hard to remove though..... you need to figure out the harness situation.....
then you definitely need some coding......

Is it possible to get the harness? Looks like it’s the WHOLE harness.

I wonder if there an aftermarket connector just for the sensors.

I can’t imagine you NEED the level sensors. Just dial in the alignment after install.

Is it possible to make them work without the xenon harness though? I can't find the schematics for the auto level sensors so Idk where to start
