I am going to give it a little more time but I may go back to the stock config.  I was really paying attention to what they were doing and it was very mild at best in terms of added lighting.  Perhaps I was expecting it to act more like my F80 M3 where it would form very distinct tunnels around the car in front.  Despite missing the ability to bend I thought it would at least add more in terms of lighting up the side of the road which I loved (signs, cops, people pulling out).

The bigger problem is that the sections turning on and off was angering other drivers I was behind.  I was going through northern MA, NH, and VT which has a lot of single lane roads so I would be behind people for chunks of time with ACC going.  Maybe it was my driving that did it but I really think it was the way that the lights were functioning--it does a weird fill in front of the car and others were perceiving it as me flashing my high beams (I think).  

I do think they were more aggressive keeping the high beams on which I liked.  That being said I wish it went even further--for example my neighborhood has some street lights but is generally dark at night and they don't switch on due to the ambient light.  Because of this I find myself sometimes not using it and just manually putting the high beams on.

Did you had a chance to film their functionality? I really think they are different than EU lights im terms of how much they move
When I am behind someone, my light will even help them even tho they aren't that bright. I was also in a car in front and my car, driven by my brother behind, they did light MY road a little. Nothing disturbing to the eye because they were on my sides

Also, you can enable High Beam in Small Village. That would only work if its dark enough tho
