I have this option on my X4 and I used it the other day. It does come on and go off automatically when street lights are identified but I was flashed by a driver coming the other way because it didnt turn off when it should have recognised his lights.
One off? Or do you think this was because his lights wernt bright enough? Or was he just being fussy?

High Beam Assist 5AC
Re: High Beam Assist 5AC
Have this on the A7, can keep the high beam always on, system will auto-dip as needed. The oncoming flash was perhaps his car going over a bump or something?

Even Skoda have it now. It occasionally misreads tail lights, but headlights it reacts to instantly.
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

I have this on my X4 and it works fine. In fact I used yesterday and was impressed at how fast it responded to on coming traffic.

Thanks guys maybe it was a dip, the road was up and down. I will try it again and see how I get on
Re: High Beam Assist 5AC
Make sure the sensor (camera) and the windscreen in front of it are clean, though it is supposed to be sensitive enough to pick up lights at 1000m. It is obvious when it operates from the high beam indicator going off and on. It only works though when auto lights are selected as well.

Thanks DiscusbT - I always leave the auto lights on, will ensure the screen is clean.
