The sensor sits on the rear suspension and routes through the rear electronic module, it is separate from the headlights. It is what keeps the headlights level regardless of what the car is doing and is part of what is required for the law.
I know this as I have had one fail. With Vida you can see the read out form it.

Hi

Is there only one levelling sensor for the headlights and what’s the location. I’m trying to find a video on where it is but can’t find anything.

Thanks

Paul

There are members on here who sell a complete set up.
It is on the rear passenger side suspension, it’s on the front edges.

You need to get it plugged in at a dealer or good indie with VIDA. The ABL system has it's own computer and plugging in will tell you exactly what the cause of the error is without the need for poke and hope diagnosis.

Get yourself a copy of VIDA - it's worth its weight in gold.
