Glare Free Headlights - Use Case

[astrand1]

Rural use is fabulous. The truck has really good bright lights with a really great beam spread. The glare free mode lets all that awesome light stay on lighting up the surrounding without blinding the vehicle ahead of me.

Yes in a city environment with street lights and building lights, it is basically useless since it locks to low beam. You can override it to manual if you want in that circumstance though.

Gonna have to disagree with you on part of this. I live in rural Michigan but am working in LA so many streetlights etc. and glare free works fantastic! It does in no way lock to low beams. I see the matrix LEDs doing their thing all the time. To the OP I don’t see where there is any use case where you wouldn’t want glare free enabled. Just having it on all the time and allowing the computer to decide where to put the light is the best way to go.

I need to look through the modules and check numbers again. I have not noticed anything so far. Also need to reset the APIM module.

Yeah it’s very noticeable to me anyway but I’m a nerd and look at stuff like that. If your little highbeam telltail on the cluster is green then glare free should be working. If it’s white then you just have normal auto high beams.

If everyone had glare free lighting then we wouldn't get high beamed all the time by inattentive drivers and people with misaligned headlights.

That’s the strange part. It is green and the toggle is showing under vehicle settings.
