On the G30/F90 LCI, it's an independent multi-function dynamic lighting module in addition to the two LED projectors, making a total of 3 forward light emitting devices per side and thus, non-compliant. Other non-conformities exist, but that's the simplest one.
That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!
Wish the US would finally amend their outdated regulations...
