Bending Lights and Active High Beam

[marinalin85]

Finally got around to filming the adaptive lights.

This is on a North American 2019 XC90 with bending lights.

Yep
They do function the same as mine. The only difference that I can see is the first activation, when they spread, the "longer" beam is instant where mine is a fade. After that, they function and look the same

The system is quite aggressive about not dazzling oncoming traffic. Too many cars around. Low beam. Overhead lights. Low beam.

Honestly, I’ve been running them for a couple weeks now and I have not been flashed at once. Not a single time.

I’ve always felt like the full flashing on and off of the standard active high beams seemed like it might be annoying to other traffic, but I do wonder what the adaptive lights look like from the outside.

We are used to thy tech here in EU. Ever since the beggining, never really annoyed us. You would see this "flash" from standard headlights with all the potholes around and that is right in your eyes. I never even saw the beam activating or deactivating behind or in front of me. So it can't really be annoying
You'll need some time to get used to them
If we ever get a chance to change the intensity of them (like vagcom) it will be amazing. We really need the split beam (longer beam) brighter. If its just 1 car in front, on the road, they are ok. If more, then you don't really see the beam...
