Litronic auto-leveling questions

So I was wondering the other day how the auto-leveling works with the factory Litronic lights and what is missing from the retrofit kit to make that work. The general description I have found is that the factory kit comes with "extra sensors and servos" to allow the auto-leveling feature.

My thought was why can't you rig up a small sensor unit using say a mercury switch, and have that drive a servo to raise or lower the headlight angle. You'd have to design a certain coarseness into the sensor so that every little bump and dip in the road wouldn't make your headlights wobble all the time. Might be an interesting experiment for any electrical engineers out there.

Anyone have any thoughts?
