LEDs: what's this sticker?

Saw this sticker on the headlights of a used X5.

Any thoughts as to what it is?

I am going to make a SWAG and say it is where black stickers are placed when LHD or RHD cars travel to vice versa. Though I believe one can code the lights to align properly without having to resort to a sticker.

It's a headlight aim calibration sticker. Was it on both? Or just the one side? That being present probably means the lamp was replaced.

It is a coded sticker used to open electronic gates or garage doors. The headlight shining threw it triggers a receiver on the gate.

My guess would then be a gate calibration sticker.

But I believe I've seen the same style stickers used on cars in gated communities. I didn't know what they were, until now.

RFID sticker is correct. Designed not to be removable in one piece.
