Default SK: Headlight with AFS

Hello, could anyone tell me if I can use an AFS headlight on my B8, which doesn't have AFS function? My right headlight is broken, and I have a good offer for an AFS headlight.

My left headlight doesn't have AFS function. When I plug in the right AFS headlight, no warning symbol comes up on the dashboard?

Will this right AFS headlight work?"

Many thanks

An AFS headlamp has a different kind of movement motor, one that does tilt and swivel. It's wired different than the non-AFS headlamp tilt motor. So you'll get errors and the auto-leveling function will fail to operate if you swap AFS and non-AFS headlamps without amending the wiring configuration to match.
