4. The module will be located towards the top of the opening (Figure 5, point 3). With the aid of a mirror, look for the part number on the DRL
control unit (Figure 6).
5. Compare both headlight and DRL control unit part numbers. Each headlight part number has a corresponding DRL control unit that is required for
proper operation. Reference the charts above for proper pairs.
