The Electrics
A BI-xenon headlight is available as an optional
extra in place of the standard triaxial ellipsoid
headlight. In this headlight module, a gas
discharge lamp produces both the low and high
beams. The high beam is intensified by a H7
lamp which
also bridges the period until the gas discharge
lamp has reached its full luminous intensity. The
H7 lamp is also used for the flasher function.
