Headlight auto leveling connector

Can someone please tell me where it is located? A pic or diagram would be extremely helpful.
Thanks

Well... Using my car's VIN I looked up the page on WIS, but it does not show a single leveling connector. Apparently, there is no single device that integrates the front height and rear heights and outputs a level signal. The headlight modules seem to compare front height vs. rear to determine level. Could be that the two sensors' wiring merges at the headlight connector?

Based on that my Sadie has the Intelligent LED lighting system, which is option 640, there are two level sensors. The left front level sensor, which is on the left front axle control arm, and the left rear level sensor, which is on the left rear suspension's axle control arm. The bi-xenon headlight options also seem to have those two sensor.

Hope these help. I'm still trying to get use to the WIS application.

Thanks a bunch I really appreciate it. I found out that there's 1 sensor at each wheel for airmatic and that headlight auto leveling uses the front left. I actually found one online although the dealer couldn't ID it even with the part number.

Now I just need to find out where the bracket at the end of the arm connects to
