HEADLIGHT CODING PLEASE HELP

Hi all,

New to the group, based in UK.

I’ve just bought a 2022 G400d that I’ve had to replace the headlight & control unit on.

Bought genuine from Mercedes. Built the car back up & took it to my local specialist to code it in.
We’ve found the first QR Code sticker located on top of the headlight as seen in pic.

My question is where is the second code or whatever it is that they need? Currently stripping it back down to remove the headlight.

I think the serial number of the headlight needs to be added to your VIN via Xentry in order for it to work with your car. I believe it is a theft prevention measure started by MB on the newer cars.
