EU & US

Headlight, laser light: different PN
Control unit, front light electronics: same PN
LED module, daytime driving lights: same PN
Isn't that different PN for Headlight/ Laser light because of US Left-hand drive and EURO right hand drive? IMO
The difference is the US-spec version requires amber side markers, a manual beam adjustment, a US DOT certification stamp, a limited high-beam range to 300m instead of capable standard 600m and decoding of GFHB & VLD feature. Furthermore, the laser lights in the U.S. will not have the blue lights.

The Euro/ROW has none of those requirements.
