Whats this black box inside 996 headlights?

Got a second hand pair of clear headlights from a 996 (Australian, non-litronics). Inside they've got an extra black box that I've not seen in a 986 headlight...



Got 3 wires going in that piggy back of slots on the normal connector. Bit hard to see where they go to, but it seems to be sharing the lowbeam +/- and maybe the fog light +? It also appears to be attached to the arm that adjusts the reflector height at the back.

2 Questions...

1. Any idea what it does? I'm guessing it may drive the arm and adjust the beam height for some reason?

2. Any idea how to remove it so I can get the reflector out. Seems to be pretty well attached to the adjustor arm behind it with no visible way to remove.

Cheers!
