Rear suspension/height sensor question

Hello guys, i have some questions to ask here.

When i climb under my car to look at something, i noticed the rear CL65 height sensor is mounted in the opposite direction. One is mounted downwards while the other is mounted upwards. This is very weird as i always thought both rear height sensor is mounted the same direction downwards. Could any of you guys out there confirm this. CL55 should be the same as well.

Could somebody who knows shed some light on this cos i really wanted to know why they mount it in different directions. As the linkages are also different. One is straight with not bent while the other one is bent to one side. Its weird why they have two different sensor mounting.

Timster look at my post carefully. I am talking about suspension height sensor. Nothing to do with headlight sensor. Unless you're telling me the car headlamp leveling is connected to the rear height sensor of the car? lol

How many lowering links are in the rear of the CL65? I thought it has one long link?
