No, under the hood. A simple twist of a screw on each side.

Gotcha. I wondered about that

The Laserlights outside of the US are different than in the states. Can these be reprogrammed if brought into the US?

Yes, the lights can be coded to perform like they do in other markets.

Dont go trying to adjust them, yourself, they'll end up like this.

I wanted to get these, but CA screwed my build up when I added parking assist he deleted the laser lights. Severely disappointed but I've waited almost a year for this car. Individual lock build sucks

.

I've seen the standard lights in person. I really like them but the laser lights just seem more clean and complete the car more. Oh well. Disappointed for sure but not enough for me to wait another year for a different allocation.

The difference is clear

I’d give back the car lol.
But, I’m like that.

I think they call it type-a, anal or something idk.
My friends call it, dickheadish.

I'm slowly leaning towards that now and getting a different car. I want to see it in person before I I give the yay or nah.

I would not completely discourage experimentation, but a general warning to be very cautious as it could be dangerous if done incorrectly.

Definitely correct. I was just issuing a general warning, that I wouldn't touch them without some type of leveling equipment, or at least on a flat surface with the appropriate distance from a large wall, that you can apply painters tape to, in a pinch.

If you're going to do that, measure the ground distance to the wall, and mark the stock headlight position, before you make any adjustments. So, basically, don't do it if you don't know what you're doing.

You'd figure by now someone would've figured out the coding. Guess I'll keep waiting patiently.

Honestly, if I had the time I would love to. Young kid and a weird work schedule prevent that for me right now though haha.

Here's a couple images I posted in a related thread of the standard U.S.-spec laser high beams. I encounter more animals than vehicles where I drive in pre-dawn hours. For my purposes, that'll do. Just be sure to get them properly adjusted if you're experiencing uneven illumination or limited projection.

Would anti-dazzle be welcomed in areas with traffic? Absolutely.

I was just kidding with you, it’s sorta become a meme “learn to code.”
As a joke which means find another job.
Not sure if you knew that, but you started talking about your long work hours and kid and I felt bad lol.

I was just kidding.

You guys, I'm so confused. Neither of you overreacted and both of you explained yourselves calmly? What kind of internet forum is this??

If you dont get the lasers the "halo" drls are replaced with two small like quarter halos along the bottom of the headlight assembly.
