Bi-LED Headlamps - How Good Do You Find Yours?

[jonceebee]

They are better than a lot of cars have and yes they do have a sharp cut off at distance. They are not as good as the bi-Xenons I had on my Yeti which also turned as you cornered lighting up the bends superbly, but overall I am happy with them as there are some cars fitted with pretty poor lighting

I've found the bi-xenons very good, had to drive a different route to work this morning for the next couple of weeks due to roadworks and all the roads are country lanes with zero lighting. As mentioned only problem is the sharp cut off but I found the automatic high beams work a treat (first time I've had this system on a car), very convenient and wonder how I've managed without them all this time!

I only wish that automatic full beam could be on without lever must stay in the forward position. Many other manufacturers have more sofisticerad solutions.

I'm more than happy with the lights in my QQ and I don't
think they differ hugely from the Xenon lights I had in my A4. The auto full
beam lights are a revalation.

Agreed. The last car I had that required the stalk pushing away from the driver for full beam was a Mk 1 Fiesta...

Not good....

[/QUOTE]I'm not sure what the problem is here. There has to be some way of switching the auto full beam on and off

I have found with the LED's that you do need to keep the glass (well plastic) clean. Even an almost invisible film of dirt will reduce vision more than I have been used to with Xenon on past cars.As to pushing the stalk to activate auto dipping I do not see a problem. There has to be a switch somewhere to be able to activate/deactivate the system and the stalk seems a good place to me.

Agree. Already so miserable luminance gets even weaker.

[/QUOTE]This really does seem, to me at least, a complete none event. What on earth is the issue here, it fact it seems logical to me that as you need to select main beam, when in manual-mode, by depressing the stalk that you should do the same when in auto-mode?

I mean to use the turn signal lever is a little difficult when the lever is in the forward position. Maybe it's just my hands.The purpose of Auto High Beam is well that you should not have to pull the levers back and forth. On my previous cars I put auto high beam position once and have not touched it in years.
