Ours moves the mirror housing far left/right to create that shadow. It only turns off the whole beam when it doesn't have any space to move. Pixel headlights are very different. Your projector is also capable of moving left/right but I don't know if it can move that far. In any case, Pixel headlights are far better than ours so stick eith that(07-09-2023, 06:58 PM)Power6 Wrote: To enable adaptive Pixel light:
Change Item 109 to "06 With AHB3 (Adaptive) Pixel Light"
That is all you need to do for that.
Some people above are interested in the car operating like the European and Rest of World(ROW) cars do: Where the "auto/adaptive beam" function remains on between uses of the car. On the US/Can car, the feature will always default to "off" and you need to twist the headlight stalk to turn the auto/adaptive beam function on each time you use the car. People have found you can achieve this by changing Item 106 HEAD LIGHTS TYPE from "11 LED type A, Pixel Headlamp with HCM" (the US/Can headlamp) to "12 LED type B, Pixel Headlamp with HCM" (EU/ROW headlamp). That does cause the auto/adaptive setting to "remember" it's last setting. That comes with the downside that the headlight modules set a code for configuration, they don't like the "Type B" config setting. Someone correct me if I am wrong here, there is not any apparent "problem" in use of the car this way, just that those codes are persistently set.
On a different (but older) thread I saw a recommendation to set 109 to "05 With AHB2 (Adaptive), High Beam in Small Village" in order to enable active matrix pixel headlights. Does anyone know the difference between using the 109/05 setting vs the 109/06 setting recommended here?
I really want to try on my Volvo AHB3 to see if it is any difference in lighting the road
