Headlight Level Sensor

I took my X5 in for inspection and the stealer stated that a Headlight Level sensor "was eaten by a rodent". I never noticed anything, the one headlight is definitely lower than the other, but its not too bad.

They wanted something like $600 to replace it and I told them to forget about it.

I am curious however how much this would be for me to fix myself.

Looking at realOEM, I found this picture:



And it would seem the only thing that could cost that much to replace is the wire lead coming out of #2.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is that the correct harness they were talking about?

If so, any way to just splice and replace that wire or does it need a new control unit?

Thanks!
