Headlight in European version

My passenger side headlight is broken on the bottom side and I found a used headlight in good condition but it’s a European version.
I’m wondering if anyone has done this before, is a European version headlight will fit well?
Btw I’m not able to find the part number, I want to confirm whether the headlight has adaptive function (AHL) or not and I tried to Google it but only few results are useful and none of them state clearly that it has adaptive function. Any help would be appreciated

Make sure its from a country that drives on the left. It will say curve light if its adaptive . There is also a slot on the bottom for the adaptive module. If its missing you know its not adaptive.

The black cover with the writing in blue is for the adaptive module



Here is one without the adaptive function



It will also say dyn (dynamic)

Thanks for the input! I never notice the black cover on the back.
Headlight in European version, information on BMW label has different layout and it doesn't states anything about adaptive or Dyn on it, which is really confuse me.
I just found out there is a stamp nearby the halo ring states "dynamic Xenon" on my current headlight. Will definitely check these two things later.

Well, I think the headlight I found has adaptive function. It has "BMW dynamic Xenon" stamp on the halo ring and a yellow plug under that black cover on the back.

Thanks again, problem solved.

Some updates... headlight all functional but very dirty, foggy inside of the plastic cover. looks ugly especially in nighttime. I assume the headlight unit is one piece and the inside of the plastic cover can't be cleaned.
