CONSTRUCTION
Through optimization of the shape of the lenses and reflectors inside the lights, a large illumination range has been achieved.
When the low beam is selected, the lower reflection area of the LED*1 or HIR-2 Bulb*2 is blocked by a shade and only the upper reflection area is used.
When the high beam is selected, the headlight solenoid rotates the shade down to allow use of the lower reflection area, thus increasing the illumination area and improving visibility when the high beam is selected.
The bi-function is activated by the body ECU. The body ECU receives a signal to turn on the high beams from the headlight dimmer switch assembly, then activates the built-in headlight solenoid to slide the shade down.
