Does anyone know where the bonnet switch is?

Hi, just wondered if anyone knows where the bonnet switch is on a E70 X5?.
Had our car around 3 years now with no issues but this morning I checked the engine bay  fluid levels and now when you shut the bonnet we get the open bonnet alarm on I drive.
Just wondered if the switches are in the two bonnet locks? and the freezing cold this morning has made one of the switches stick.

Thanks for that but I found it earlier on the R/H lock, sprayed some WD40 in to lube up the switch and it must have popped back out as the bonnet alarm is no longer there when shut :)
