Headlight
Description
The low beam lights are proiector-type lights which are more compact while maintaining sufficient brightness. Bundling
the light rays reduces stray light and yields a spotlight-effect which improves visibility during night or foul weather driving.
For easier aiming, the headlights are equipped with vertical and horizontal gauges.
NOTE: As the oute. lenses are made oI a resin material, don't cover the headlights when they a.e turned on.
