Default What is this part by the rear wheel?

While changing from my winter wheels to all seasons, I noticed this part behind the rear strut. It appears to be broken from some sort of switch above it. Can someone identify what this is?

I believe that it is the headlight adjustment load level sensor...…………

Thanks, after my post I found it in a parts diagram. I just ordered a replacement. I had wondered why my headlights seemed much lower during night time driving.
