Default Electronic height sensor

Hello,

there are two of these levers - front and rear one. My rear one is missing - they will not let me through from technical inspection as my lights won't adjust when the height of the car is changing.

I want to know whether this lever is the same as other cars (then I can buy this from other car, because in my country no one has this spare part and they will only sell it with the sensor - costs about 500 $).

Help needed.

Thanks

Does it have to be new? They're only $50 bucks used:

If you have access to a riveter and a slim piece of metal, I dont see why you couldnt drill a couple of holes and secure a piece along side the broken piece to hold it together.

Anythings possible.

Well, the lever is missing. Dunno how, but I was told from the inspection that it can be taken from other Toyotas etc which have Xenon. Hasn't really anyone met this kind of a problem in their life?

Please, until this thing is fixed my car is illegal for driving on public roads.
