Default Ride height sensor?

On the Driver side under the car slightly inside next to the tire there is a little pole attached to a sensor it almost looks like a ride height sensor. What is this used for and what happends if it is removed. Im assuming this is used for distributing the right power or so on for bracking is that correct?

Headlight levelers.

Theres also one on the rear a-arm. Reaims the headlights depending on how the load is sitting in the car, so they're always aimed at the right place, and not burning the retinas of oncoming drivers.

Remove it, and your self leveling headlights will probably point skyward.
