Default Will 2012 auto leveling motor/amp work in 2006 non afs car?

My mom has a 2012 with led headlights and somewhere resides the amp/motor that controls the auto leveling.
My 2006 is a halogen headlight car with no afs. When i take her headlights where is the amp/motor that controls the auto leveling and if i find it will it install and work on my 2006 car?
Jeff Lange, thoughts?

So in theory if i can locate what powers my mom's leveling headlights i should be able to swap it into my 2006 and get the auto leveling to work?
Jeff do u know where this amp that provides power to the leveling motor in the 2012 headlights resides?
I'm wondering if it'd be plug n play in my 06?

The AFS ECU is mounted under the driver's kick panel. Your car probably won't have wiring for it, either to the ECU or to the headlights. You will also need the 2 suspension sensors and you'll need to wire them in as well. You'll also end up with a flashing "AFS OFF" light if you successfully implement the auto-leveling.
