Purpose and function in the vehicle

Thanks to the factory design, the correct light beam geometry is maintained, which reduces glare for the driver and improves comfort.

The light has been designed to create a cohesive whole with the headliner, overhead console, and other interior lighting elements. As a result, after replacement, a uniform cockpit appearance is maintained, without differences in shades or material textures.
