HELP!!! What part is this...

Good night fellas,

I just got my H&R springs installed about 2 weeks ago and my wheels also installed. i was washing the car today and looked under the car because I dropped a cap. I noticed a metal rod hanging from underneath the front driverside portion near the wheel. I havent hit any huge bumps or anything. I have no idea what this rod is... The car has been riding pretty well. Does anyone know what this is? Is it supposed to be hanging?

It is near the front driver side tire...

looks like it's the headlight leveling sensor arm:

This is the headlight leveling sensor. If you look closely you can see where it goes back on it looks like a little trailer hitch bolt just push it back on there.You might have to raise the car up a little to get it push back on there
