Rear headlight level sensor 2007 335i

Hello, I am currently in the process of putting the rear suspension back together after installing a set of kw v2 coilovers. The issue I'm having is actually how to reposition the rear headlight leveling sensor. When I dropped the LCA I didn't see how it's supposed to sit and now I cannot find an actual picture of the assembly in position anywhere. Any clear pictures or references are greatly appreciated. I will include a picture of mine hung up at the moment for reference.

so the whole unit is mounted on the control arm and at the 21mm nut where the control connects to the subframe?

No, that pic was after I started removing things. I snapped some new ones to make it clearer. The bracket that the sensor is attached to is mounted by a clip nut into a square hole near the lower control arm bushing on the subframe, the little bent locking tab goes in a hole next to it. The mount for the other end of the arm goes on the control arm as in pic 1 on first my post.Hopefully the pics will make it clear.

Glad I could help.

Nice, I'm sure it's gonna be a huge step up. I have a 330i, I thought coilovers would maybe be over the top for my powerband but I installed Bilstein B8s and Eibach sport springs today along with M3 arms and stuff. https://www.e90post.com/forums/showp...ostcount=14707
