It's just the best feature ever fitted to a car .

So, I've been out tonight capturing more videos of it in action, and with it I have some more observations and more conclusions.

I'm going to start with the conclusion; it's not named right. It should be called something like "Dynamic Lighting", with High Beam Assistant being a sub-feature of this.

Now, with Adaptive Xenon's, the beam is directed to the corners (especially left being UK) and the beam also changes depending on the speed and gear (i.e. D to R) - so it's already impressive. Enable HBA and bring the camera into play - wow. Ignoring the high beam feature, which I think we've covered a lot now, the beam is then infinitely adaptive and will dance all over the road to distribute light to the greatest extent whilst not dazzling other drivers. Also, the range of the beam is adaptive. Its objective seems to have light touching just below the bumper of the car in front.

If I come closer to the car in front, the beam range will reduce so the light isn't blinding the driver. If I drop back, it will increase so light is still touching the vehicle. Clever clever stuff!

Back to the high beam feature, the system will create tunnels as we know for the car ahead and oncoming traffic. This means as much light is distributed onto the road as possible without blinding other drivers. And it looks REALLY COOL. I've found that a lot of drivers slow down for a look at what's going on and I'm sure I've been mistaken for an unmarked police car on occasions!

So I've added a load of video to demonstrate the above features.

It is AMAZING. I couldn't recommend this feature more. It just needs a different name - "High Beam Assistant" is too focused.

p.s I kinda go off topic and partake in some more 'spirited' driving around 3:20

Enjoy!

Try this, have someone drive behind you and record the hba in action, that way you can really see the lights dancing
