Does the high beam turns itself without anti-dazzle?

Hi,

wrong title: It should read "turns off*"

I have U.S spec G05 with laser light. I understand that the anti-dazzle partially turn off the high beam when a car is approaching.

With that said...does the standard laser light (without anti-dazzle) turns off both high beams when a car is approaching? Honestly, that's all I need.

Yes, you can turn in the automatic high beams is that they are turned on and off automatically. It is the bottom button on the turn signal stalk.

The rest of the world gets LOTS more functionality out of their lights than the US currently allows (hopefully, it will change, soon). In reality, in the rest of the world, the lights don't have a major switch between high and low beam...the beams literally can adjust to block out a vehicle ahead and even run high beams up along side each side of a vehicle in front and split around a car coming the other way.

FWIW, the laser beams don't come on until the vehicle gets to about 38-mph, and only if it doesn't see another vehicle close enough without any of the adjustments available elsewhere.

I have not been able to figure this out on my x5 45e.

Is there a video tutorial on how to do this?

I have the standard lights on the m sport spec? As in I didn't option anything specific on the lights. But if the high beam doesn't come in automatically and off on an £80,000 car then I am really disappointed. My previous Honda HRV that cost a third of the x5 had this three years ago!

Yeah and my Saabs had a double sun visor so you could have one in front of you and one on the side.. never seen that on a BMW. But hey, now we've got BMW's!
