1. Parking lamps
2. Dipped beam
3. High beam.

Note! From week 0026 inclusive, the parking lamps in the US market will be integrated in the headlamp unit rather than in the turn signal lamps. If replacing the headlamp on a car manufactured prior to week 0026, the parking lamp remains integrated in the turn signal lamps so that both headlamps are configured in the same way. If the parking lamp lights in the headlamp unit, remove the bulb for the parking lamp.
