'95 S600- Control OEM Hydraulic Ride Height?

I own a 1995 Mercedes-Benz S600 Sedan with OEM self leveling hydraulic suspension. I'm trying to figure out a way to control the ride height using the stock suspension. I haven't seen anyone else that has done it besides this guy- No bags, OEM Hydraulics... - StanceWorks

I'm assuming the way to do it would be to bypass the module that controls the SLS system and have something like this-
BAG RIDERS | BILLET SWITCH BOX
with gauges that read out the pressure of each hydraulic cylinder.

Any ideas? I'm guessing I'd need to start off with a diagram of where the module plugs into the wiring harness.

So I emailed a company, "Hydrophaulics" and the owner told me to look at a compay called "ProgRama"

Ended up finding this-

It says it's only for 1998 and up, but I just emailed them asking if it could work on my '95. Hopefully everything works out.
