Sensor attached to front bumper beam, what is it?
Hey guys,

What is the sensor attached to the front bumper beam? My guess is that it may have to do with the headlight leveling but I really have no clue. Anyone know? I'm curious!

Thanks.

oh wow that was fast. Yeah, I recall the sensors in the rear for the levelers when doing some installs, in retrospect.

edit: Case closed, thanks guys
