With the exception of the assembly and disassembly operations for the headlight range control motors and the dipped beam bulb cap, removal and installation of the headlights and their attachments are identical.
Fault detection and fault display:
The onboard supply control unit has a self-diagnostic function, which makes fault finding on headlights easier.
