    BMW E46 HID Auto Level Sensor and Supporting Parts

    Is this?

    I noticed while installing my front coilovers this evening. It appears to be broken and just spins freely.....


    To give you a frame of reference....in the next pic.....you are looking past the front passenger side shock.....

    I don't have Xenons. Looking in my Bentley service manual, that's gotta be it.

    Can you move it, when your lights are on and see what happens?

    It is the xenon level sensor. I should know, I've had to replace one. Costed about $100.

    That device controls the leveling of your xenons for both sides so definitely replace it. Since it attaches to the control arm, as you drive over bumps, dips, etc, it works to keep the headlights pointed in the right direction.
