Can't believe that's a law in other parts of the world!
DOT law also limits the high beam output to be not much brighter than your low beam out put.

I had my US spec 135i coded to the AHL2 settings and also to EU specs... so my highbeams are about twice as bright now.
Quad high beams are the best!!!
In the grand scheme of things, in America the mechanic's garage won't fail your inspection because your headlights won't auto level even if it were a law. And a cop won't recognize it either.

I'm honestly not sure about the rest of the world, but it doesn't seem like a build deal to me.

Back on topic, I finished the wiring in both headlights and I just need to update my post. Taking my time on this because my car won't be out of hibernation for another week or so. I am very excited to get these installed and see if no codes are thrown! That would be a nice win for the halogen crowd.
