So if thats true, then that would explain why there are no differences (yet) in the code from NA to ROW.

Interesting..
He lost me when he used the word "eluminate"..

There is no European law changing and the headlight throw are now the same between all regions, that guy is just speculating.

BMW had to get individual approval for their specific laser lights technology to be operated in the US but did not have to change the overall hardware because they demonstrated that it's control by cameras and a failsafe incase they become inoperative.
