SKP SKRHS042 Headlight Level Sensor

Headlight Level Sensor for HID Applications

The SKP SKRHS042 headlight level sensor restores proper headlamp leveling response on a wide range of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, and Volkswagen vehicles equipped with HID lighting. It is a direct-fit electrical sensor for front or rear suspension-mounted leveling systems, helping maintain correct beam aim after suspension movement.

• Headlight level sensor for HID-equipped vehicles
• Fits front and rear positions across confirmed applications
• Direct replacement for OE-style leveling system operation
• Cross-references Edelmann 91686 for the same application
• Part number SKRHS042 for ordering and fitment lookup

Compatible With 2011-2014 BMW 535i GT xDrive, rear right and front right; 2008-2013 BMW 528i, front left and rear left; 2007-2013 BMW 535i xDrive, front left and rear left; 2007-2013 Mercedes-Benz S550, front and rear; and many additional HID-equipped BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, and Volkswagen models. The SKP SKRHS042 is used in headlamp leveling systems that monitor vehicle height and suspension position so the lighting system can adjust beam angle correctly. This helps keep the headlights aimed where they belong on vehicles such as BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and Audi A6 applications.

Common Issues This Sensor Addresses

• Headlights pointing too high or too low after suspension movement
• Faults in HID headlamp leveling feedback
• Uneven beam aim between front and rear ride height changes
• Warning lights or leveling system errors tied to the sensor circuit
• Loss of proper automatic headlight leveling response

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the mounting position before installation, since this part is listed for front, rear, front left, front right, rear left, and rear right applications depending on vehicle. Confirm HID headlight equipment and match the vehicle by year, make, model, and position. Inspect the linkage and mounting points for wear or damage before replacing the sensor, and clear any stored leveling-system fault codes after installation.
