NOTE:

In order to prevent glare due to asymmetrical low beam headlamps, both headlamps must be retrofitted to the prescribed direction of traffic corresponding to the country.

It is necessary to deactivate the cornering lamp using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester if the HID headlamps and cornering lamps have been changed by can covering foil to be used in a country with a specific drive direction. Refer to CORNERING LAMP FUNCTION, DEACTIVATING .

The retrofit of the headlamp is not suitable for long term use in other countries. It is a short term "tourist solution" during a temporary visit to another country.

Both headlamps must always be retrofitted.
