Adaptive lights. Pretty cool feature.
I just have returned from a friend’s party tonight and finally have seen my adaptive lights in action.
On the way home I need to make 270 degree ramp to get on a highway. I took it many times and typically my lights pointing somewhere into bushes, but today lights stay right on the pavement. Not that a big deal, but kind of nice

I love my adaptive lights. Last weekend I drove back from my farm at night. I took the twisty road through the hills - out in the country, no street lighting, just 90km of glorious, empty winding road through hills, and the lights made it so much easier to see what was on the road and where I was going.

Yeah, I had to drive my dad's Maxima for a few months and I had 'adaptive headlight withdrawal.' It was so hard goin g back to standard lights after driving with adaptive-xenons.

I almost find it a bit distracting, it kind of turns into a make my headlights follow the road video game
neat feature, but i find myself playing around with making the lights turn more than I should |

It all depends on how often you want your lights turning on automatically. I personally hate when my auto lights turn on when going under bridges, so I have the sensitivity turned lower. I heard that it isn't good for xenons to constantly cycle like that, so that is the reasoning behind that.

Hopefully, you get used to it before you get annoyed and decides to give up on it.

I love this feature. I always leave the knob at 'A' and it is really great the way they litup when you start the car. They are like taking a bow before you attack the road! Martial arts style ;-)
