When a car that is manufactured in a country

drives on the left (or vice versa), it is normally

necessary to cover part of the headlight bulbs

with stickers or to change the adjustment of the

headlights to avoid dazzling other drivers.

Dynamic headlight range control

For ECOLED headlamps, it is necessary to

lower the mechanical adjustment of the head-

If you do not have experience with this type of
