Auto beam is so great, I also love it in my F30. No need to hassle with the lever all the time. In my F20 I never used the beam, because it was really annoying to turn on/off the light every 30s.
I just bought a 2016 BMW 330e and had no idea it even had adaptive headlights until i read the text inside the light. It all made sense lol, i wondered why the heck the lights lit up the trees at my neighbours and had a super elevated beam. But now i know it was the adaptive headlights turning the high beams on and trying to correct the beam (since our drive way is a hill, the lights tries to account for the hill incline and points the beam higher up.)
I think they light up the road so close to the car. I have an f31 2018 and i have a hard time driving in the night ans with other cars close i cant use high beam… half beam litteraly lights up max 10-15 meters infront of the car and then completely black infront of the ”beam line”…
Indeed, i have the f31 2018 and with half beam on it light up the ground so close… had to install x4 extra light during winter season because i feel unsafe with original lights, even high beam is really bad
Sir, I’m having F30 318i 2018 model. I’m having LED lights as well. But how do we know that they are adaptive or not? Because there are not turning when the steering wheel turns!
Dimitry i have a question.. ill have LED lights orginally from new but do i need some special equipment to change them for bmw led adaptive lights (except headlamps)?
@@Lofl1337 i know about replacing headlights but do i need replace electrical wires?i know about big squere led moduls too to be Exchange with number XX1X cos normal LEd is XX0X numbers. Any other moduls same like in adaptive. whats about wires?
i am guessing bec if they wanted to achieve the same with projectors they would use 2 bi-led projectors on each side. cost aside (i think it would have cost more if they went with 4 bileds) it looks like they decrease forground light on higher speeds by dimming the low beam on that bigger reflector and increase it again on lower speeds. A projector might not give that much forground light to begin with and still be usable for distance. I am just going by something i noticed in the video @2:15 and not on any research i did on my own.
thejoseandresshow why is Audi's en mercedes led tehnology superior and this one not?? Bmw dont have a lens just a reflector that makes it look cheaper, but is works just perfect, i know i have one! Do you have one of the 3
Ernad Grudic They are superior because they are based on a array of LEDs. These arrays can turn on and off more than one LED section at once, and these systems do not rely on the mechanical movement of the the high beam portion of the headlight. What BMW does, is that they swivel the high beam portion left or right to not glare incoming traffic. Multibeam and Matrix LED don't rely on that mechanical movement. Instead, they turn off some section of the array of LEDs to not glare incoming drivers.
No not really. The Audi System is more like: halfway done and shipped out. Because the Lowbeams don't turn mechanically left and right, they are static. Only in the up and down they can adjust. Also the Matrix headlight from Audi has not as much segments like Mercedes. The Mercedes ILS is the most advanced from the three: Curve-following Low-Beams, 96 Segment Led-Highbeam Matrix and lens system. Also the Response of the Curve following Low-beams is fast. I drove a A4 B9 without matrix, but with LED (the Low Beam assy is the same), an RS3 with LED reflector system and an 330d. Also various Bi-Xenon Cars. The best Light package is the one from the F30. "Full Adaptive" LED, glarefree-Highbeams and it looks cool. I like it. The best Light System at the Market is the ILS.
@@peterwood2633 yep, got it coded and all I had to do was buy an Enet cable and someone coded it over the internet a long with enabling a few more hidden tricks.
I love LED lights, just not on BMW. I had f30 320d with LED adaptive lights for couple of days while my car was in a shop for repair and I was disappointed. My xenon has a longer and wider range of light than LED. It does light up better the road infront of you than xenon, but only couple of meters, when with xenon I see much further ahead and also wider from the road on both sides. It's the same with Skoda Octavia RS that I drove. The only car with good LED lights that I drove was last year, brand new MB S400 with multibeam LED facelift, that is something completely different than this cheap shit of an LED from BMW. I also want to test matrix lights from audi soon
Du vergleichst nen 3er ohne adaptive Headlight mit ner s Klasse? Natürlich ist die besser.. hast du Mal nen 7er probiert? Der Sprung zum 5er ist schon ein deutlicher Unterschied vom 3er.. Und ja wie der andere Typ schon meinte. Stand der Dinge sind bei BMW echt die laser units
that's why i love youtube! I mean look at this guy, comparing a 2016 headlight from a 2016 3 SERIES entry level luxury car to a top of line 2019 boats from other companies. I mean dude you just screw yourself up saing *BRAND NEW* mb S400... the car in the video has almost 7 years. Greetings
The reason is they used reflectors instead of projectors with 3,4 and 6 series for LED option which I don't get it. Reflectors are the same technology with the old halogen headlights. 2021 Model year onwards all BMW series with led option comes with projectors now. Bmw saw that they failed and they took action.
I’m about to buy an M3 with these lights and I’m thinking I may be underwhelmed because I have an A5 with Maxtrix LEDs at the minute. The matrix are amazing
then its not adaptive headlights, adaptive headlights turn the projector (or well... in this case. reflector) side to side, normals dont, u may just have the "high beam assistant" on urs.
North American Specs BMW's with the Adaptive LED headlights above comes with that feature disabled. They only come with that auto high beam which I think is a $1900 scam. They can be easily coded to act like the ones above though. I had mine coded by someone remotely and they work perfectly along with many other features.
BALD PRICK, because they are not, Audi, Kia/Hyundai/Genesis, Acura, Mercedes, Toyota/Lexus, Mazda, etc. all have brighter and better adaptive LED headlights. The reason why these suck is because BMW is using a reflector headlamp housing as opposed to projector.
@@MalamIbnMalam Bullshit. A "projector" type system looses a bit of the light in the reflector, the "cutoff" to form the low beam and the lens itself. The losses are higher. A reflector based system has the advantage, that nearly 99% of the emitted light hits the road. With a projector you loose 4-5%. It is compensated, but after all they are all the same brightness. And every manufacturer opts for "max legal" brightness. Once one 3series with the Adaptive LED drove up to my E39 (with close to new xenon headlights and new Bulbs), the F30 with the adaptive LED was brighter. It also was brighter than 25W Xenons. Also you have the high beam masking, which is nice. It is the second best LED system that's out. The best is mercedes Benz ILS. Because the low beams can swivel and they are a "electronic" type glare free highbeam system. When I might buy a 3series, then only with adaptive LED. Looks better and throws out also a good amount of light.
@@jensharbers6702 and a multi-reflector unit just wastes all the light and scatters it in an inefficient fashion. There is a reason why Projector headlamps outperform multi-reflectors ...
@@jensharbers6702 BMW cars have some of the worst headlights. Compare a BMW 3 series of any generation to a Kia Optima GT/SX from 2017+ with its LED projectors and you will see a huge difference. The Kia wins 100% of the time.
One of the better videos on yt showing car lights in/on action
Thanks
thank you for a genuinely useful light output video - very hard to find on youtube!
I'm glad you liked it
These headlights are really bright. I always have cars flashing their headlights at me.

On the road it looks like most of the light hits the ground right in front of the car.

Of course, if there is an option Adaptiver LED-Headlight
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Is there any reason why they went with reflectors instead of projectors for the LEDs
cheaper, BMW has started to choose quantity over quality sadly.
I'm not sure about that. But they are definitely very good, it's a shame they went with reflector design though as it looks a bit cheap in my eyes
LEDs don't put light out very well in projectors. Reflectors are better for led and projectors are better for xenon.
i am guessing bec if they wanted to achieve the same with projectors they would use 2 bi-led projectors on each side. cost aside (i think it would have cost more if they went with 4 bileds) it looks like they decrease forground light on higher speeds by dimming the low beam on that bigger reflector and increase it again on lower speeds.

Do auto highbeam blind other drivers?
no
damn so high tech
Not really high tech at all lol, this should be standard in all cars by now.
@@GAMEVIDSnorwegian422 your mom goes to college
Do you have to turn on high beams for this to work
it is on, in auto mode high beam.
So are you saying this will work with low beams with auto mode
@@kurmeditz you press the auto high beams button by the BC button on the turn signal stalk if your car has this option.
Nice but I think the matrix led form Audi or the multibeam led from MB are a bit superior. Good video, keep it up.
