What are the two bulbs in the headlights of the Audi Q7?

Audi Q7 headlight bulbs: the older models use D2S, while the newer models use D3S. Xenon headlights: For models equipped with xenon headlights, the turn signal bulb model is PWY24W, and the all-weather light is H7 (55W). The turn signal, brake light, reverse light, and rear fog light bulbs all use W16W bulbs. Headlight height adjustment: Different headlight heights can affect visibility. For example, when a sedan and an SUV meet on the road, the SUV driver may be using low beams, but due to the SUV's much higher body height compared to the sedan, the low beams can still appear as high beams to the sedan. Almost all car models come with headlight adjustment functionality as a standard feature.
I'm a car enthusiast and have studied the lighting design of the Audi Q7. Those two bulbs are the low-beam and high-beam bulbs. In most versions, the low-beam bulb is used to illuminate the close-range area ahead, such as preventing glare to other vehicles during city driving, commonly using H7 or D-type Xenon bulbs. The high-beam bulb provides high-intensity light to enhance visibility on highways or during night driving, possibly using H7 or HIR bulbs. Their installation positions differ and are located inside the headlight assembly, requiring professional tools for access. Keeping these bulbs functioning properly is crucial as they directly affect visibility. The Q7's lighting system may also include auxiliary functions like daytime running lights, but these are separate from the two main bulbs. Bulbs tend to dim or flicker as they age, so it's recommended to inspect or replace them regularly as per the manual.
