I still can't believe I, like most of us, are confused in every way possible here.

My last nugget of confusion is this. Are the following statements true?

In EUROPE and THE WORLD Laserlight IS THE low beams and also the high beams (with LEDs being the DRLs on Laserlight package cars) . So you get in your car and Laserlight comes on with the low beams being turn on.

In the USA where Laser is illegal...Laserlight is never the low beam function and Laserlight is ONLY a supplementary back up for the automatic high beams above 37mph. So you get it your car and led low beams turn on. Then when you hit speeds above 37mph depending on conditions Laserlight ONLY turns on with the high beams turning on.

Lending to the confusion is the fixtures themselves.
Assuming the laser function on Laserlight fixtures is not a coded feature and a physical part inside the housing there must be like three fixtures for the G05 X5:
1. The LED Fixtures (WORLD/USA),
2. The LED-Low Beam/Laserlight-High Beam fixture (USA),
3. The Laserlight Low Beam/High Beam fixture (EUROPE/WORLD)

So someone can tell me if any of the above is true or not.

Thanks
This applies to the laser lights for the record.

there is 1 housing: all that changes is the coding. There is no laser low beam only a high. It doesn't dazzle on coming motorist because of the way BMW shifts the light around cars by physically moving the lens. I can check real OEM to confirm part numbers if you'd like.
