What people do not realise, is that high beam of BMW laser lights turns on most of the time in unlit motorway driving, even if there were cars in front and coming opposite. Amazing beam beautifully lights up over quarter of a mile ahead of you cleverly missing only areas where there are other cars, thus avoiding blinding any of them. This happens even if there are perhaps 8-10 other cars coming and going in field of lighting. If too many cars in the field, it turns off and changes to an excellent dipped light.
@@Krisp97you don’t realise that he wasn’t listing that as a negative point? Why works you turn the function off of you don’t blind others while it’s on?
No any laser powered headlamps are currently classified as illegal to use in all 50 states. Any of the new vehicles such as these BMWs that come stock with laser headlights are converted to HID lamps on any models shipped to the US.
For us American drivers, just wanted to tell you to not get your hopes up... This video didnt mention that current US regulations have made laser headlights ILLEGAL in all 50 states. So if you're not satisfied here in the states with simply blinding other motorists temporarily with your outrageous and unnecessary LED headlamps, youll have to move over to the UK if you feel like permanently blinding motorists with some laser beam headlights at the moment.
Thats why they are illegal to use here in the US. We already have issues with zero regulations on intensity levels of LED & HID display headlamps. They are becoming more and more hazardous every year as manufacturers continue to make brighter and brighter bulbs. Especially when installed in vehicles that sit higher such as trucks, SUVs and Ive even seen newer school buses with insanely powerful headlights now. When they sit higher and are directed right at eye level of oncoming traffic, it literally will blind you. Some of these LED kits are absolutely dangerous to oncoming traffic. Im sure Im not the only one who has to deal with temporary blindness on the way to work every day.
compared to merc they ain’t bright enough, dunno why but for some reason it just doesnt provide that level of brightness, tried in 840i, M550D and 540i same behavior, E63 out performed all
I wanted to say "oh man that's gonna cost a lots of money" but then I realized those who drive BMWs, they are not like me, well I need to check my wallet 8 times before replace something on my car. That's why I don't drive bmw
You've got to use my strategy. Find a well-maintained used BMW that's at least 7 years old so the price has depreciated to a 4th of the MSRP. That's how I found a 2011 X5 50i for 12K.
Everything that everyone makes is copied from someone else's idea. Otherwise there'd only be one company from which you'd be able to buy any given item.
Last independent video I saw testing with a light meter showed the laser light was no better than LED lighting. Just saying. The matrix LED set up looks better...................

Just turn off the auto on function... Simple fix. Just use the high beams when you need them and no other traffic.

BMW and technology do belong together this brand is just insane.👌👌👌👌👍👍 Best German brand ever.
Me: hi I need my lights changed.
Service assistant : sure. Oh you have the laser light. So that will be $7000.
Laser light or adaptive light? Are they same?
They're separate things
No
Is this fully functional in the US? I know the US are much stricter with their Matrix headlights functions.
No

Right you are, and because of the U.S. market, BMW has announced they are phasing out the technology.
One light unit costs €3800 to replace. I damaged one unfortunately, and that was excluding labor
It’s good for the driver but bad for oncoming cars as the distance lights get dipped, oncoming drivers are partially blind by that time.

Believe and put your Faith in Jesus Christ’s Death Burial and Resurrection and you will be Saved
Not always. Believe to God not to human being
These lights turn off to oncoming cars when it's too late.
Yeah they are more energy efficient, but they are a bit too bright, too piercing.
Yeah... i meet x1 on the road and so much glare for the opposite
donutdoode69 hell yea
Thank you for short explantation.

did they have the option?

The highbeam booster
Ah yes, let's give drivers permanent eye damage.

I agree. Expensive cars come with expensive problems
Lasers are not costly
@@root4089 they’re like $8k a light 😭😂
@@sa-iu1cc The option costs £1,500 so how can they be $8k a light?

All this super powerful lights are a problem if IS too much It Causes the same amount of accidents as deficient lights.
WTF. Now we are gonna be even more blinded?
How can i buy Laser Bulb for H3?
Lmfao
Just remember Audi made a patent for laser, matrix lights, everyone else just copied from them
@@notadoctor2598 and? What? Other carmakers shouldn't be a show off's with tech that isnt theirs
If Audi Patented a laser light system first... the whole point of a patent is that it cant be copied... lol

£1500 option! But BMW throw in HBA too..how nice..charging £1500 for HBA when every other manufacturer has HBA as standard..BMW have no shame.
No yucky US side markers? Lol

Nicee
Yes, but can they remove that pesky hair from returning? Huh! Didn't think so.
Completely unnecessary- LED is plenty bright
Too bright, as a matter of fact.
YES, how much they going to cost for replacement. Led are money pits
You mean laser headlights. Those will cost more than LED.
LEDs will never need replacement in a vehicle life. Only if there is a malfunction or crash damage.
Its about $8000 usd per headlight
I'm pretty sure if you afford BMW series, you are those kind of people who wouldn't mind spend that much money on it's services.
@@luziaflone1951 not all bmws are expensive you buy a Ford twice the price as a bmw
