I have them on my Superb. I completely agree with you. I was driving behind a 93 Nissan Micra last year and I was lighting up the road for him and not blinding him at the same time. Agree window needs to be clean for them to work. If you window/Camera gets blocked when driving you get a notification. Just use regular dip and full until you get it cleaned. Some job
My VRS Octavia has these lights. I hate driving at night, but with these matrix lights things are so much better. I absolutely endorse everything said in the film.
Kagmac 1 second ago I drive a Skoda Octavia vRS 2022 and it has the matrix LED Lights, they are better in theory than in practice to be honest. Amazing light thrown ahead of the car but i am regularly flashed by oncoming vehicles as sometimes the matrix is a little bit slow to react to multiple cars coming towards me and also if an oncoming motorist is fixing their gaze on my headlights as opposed to on the road ahead of themselves as they should be, they will decipher that my headlights are actually way too bright for their liking and immediately switch on their fulls to blind me back! Great idea but still work to be done in my opinion with the technology
Another thing is that the more light, the more it hides the contours of the surrounding area, making the contours of your cars less visible which means it's harder to evaluate the width and size of your vehicle.
Make sure you keep the camera clean . When you have a dirty windscreen it can cause problems. With all LED headlights you have no heat to clear the lights of snow and ice so make sure these are all clear before you set off. They are very good lights and well worth having.
What a brilliant video! I actually have these on my Superb but was never sure about whether it would actually dim itself properly. Really cool to see how it does it during the driving footage, I'll give it a go next time :)
This is a message for automotive engineer teams - As much as I like matrix headlights they need to recalibrate for motorcycles often the tech looks at the light than the object thus the blank area for motorcycles often is narrow, also it is slow to recognise scooter low powered lights including oncoming blinding the driver for a period please keep the berm low for longer and wider
The ability to illuminate around a car your following would have been useful to me the other night as the driver ahead refused to use full beam on a dark twisty country road. I'm always amazed at the number of people who don't know when to put lights on or turn them off.
I've auto dip beam headlights on my Volvo and just not 100% happy with them, often find they don't dip as quickly as they should. These look like a great idea. Any safety feature like this really should be standard in my view.
I had a VW ID3 which I traded in for a Skoda Enyaq IV80x. I ordered the new car without matrix headlights or ACC 2 things I didn't like on my VW. My problem with the lights is that oncoming cars kept flashing their headlights at me. They work really well on our Renault Zoe.
Thanks Bob. My 2018 Bmw 6 GT has same system. Always thought it was a gimmic until I drove to Poland last month. They were amazing on the autobahn etc.
I have these on my Octavia VRS and they are amazing. Much better than standard LED or xenon lights. They are also great on the motorway where they light up road signs. This is an example of technology we need unlike keyless go.
I'd love these even more if it doubled as a dashcam - I don't know why more car makers don't offer it as an option - I think Porsche offer it now in the 911.
Thank you for your explanation and video of these headlights in action. My new VRS has them as standard, now thanks to your video I can see the advantages. Thank you.
Even on A6 c7.5 matrix headlights were good. First I encountered them on A6 c7 but they were useless because they would turn completely off when camera detects light(even from traffic signs). Lately I saw it on bmw x6 2018-19 model, and it is phenomenal technology.
Have this option on my L&K estate and along with the heated steering wheel I wouldn’t be without them now. Will be getting it on my next superb when the time comes to change.
I wanted these on my second hand Passat but got lost in the jungle of options on the countless used Passats I was looking at when I was shopping. It’s a really common option on passats, you see it all the time, but mine doesn’t have it and it’ll bug me until time comes to change cars again. It’s well worth having.
It’s an impressive system but one I’d spend extra on if it was available as a standalone option (unfortunately was only part of a very expensive option pack when buying my last car).
Have the standard LED headlights on an Octavia Combi, full beam great, on dipped I find them lacking on throw on the left. Last model had standard halogen,I upgraded the bulbs by 30% and they were perfect for me. We were interested in changing to an Enyaq but the matrix lights are only available in a nearly €6000 package of which we didn't require 90% of the items.
Some people will always find a reason not to have something. I have the bi-xenon adaptive headlights on my Skoda Octavia Scout for the last 8 years and they are brilliant.
I'm a nights HGV driver and these are the bain of my life. Any slight bend in the road they remain on at full beam . I've stopped flashing people to turn them off as they don't realise they are on or don't care . I'd ban them until the tech improves , or better still save the money and let the driver operate a stalk.
I also find it absolutely annoying, it's ridiculously that this is street legal here in Germany, were we have very strict regulations and rules. I guess it's better to have a high seating position in a HGV? Driving a normal car at night is now a nightmare with all these matrix lights.
I have a 211 Octavia vRS with matrix lights. They are really impressive but I still get some oncoming car “Flashing” me. Probably around 20% so system far from perfect.
I've not got a VAG car any more, did have a Leon ST, now have an ionic, that has excellent lights, and I too get a good 20% of on coming drivers flash at me, even though I know the auto dim has kicked in. I think it's down to how good new bulbs are, and sometimes the angle of the road, just catches the oncoming car at the 'wrong' angle, so they get blinded for a second.
@@padraicgeraghty5609 don’t get me wrong I think they are great. But I find on bad roads where the car might be bouncing around a bit guys flash me. No issues on nice smooth roads. Now also think Stephen’s comment about lights just being better and other driver’s perspective to this is right.
@@jamessyder2769 I get your point, but I live in the sticks and travel on some crap roads. The HD lights are a significant improvement over the standard ones. They react quicker and use more mirrors. My point being there are more advanced versions of matrix lights available.
Have this on a Passat. It works 95% of the time, but I don't use it. I prefer to do it myself because if I see a car coming through a tree the car can't detect it, but the other car then blinds me because my car hasn't dimmed. In theory it's great and on a motorway or dead straight road it's absolutely fantastic but you can catch it out

And could you recommend it, also is it dsg and how do you find fuel economy? Sorry about all the questions
@@kagmac3151 Although I see a nice 221 Passat estate in Lapiz blue on carsireland for sale in wicklow, only 11,000 km on it. Not quite as many extras as on my Passat saloon (9,000 worth of extras would you believe) but I don't use half of them so it would be alright
@@Edvard.Munchkin Hey Daniel, no problem at all. It`s actually the 2ltr diesel 200bhp with the 7 speed DSG gearbox and it is an absolute pleasure to drive in practically every single way possible!

@@kagmac3151 thanks, my Passat is also dsg 7 speed 2.0 tdi 150 bhp but it takes 6-7 litres per 100. Great car though, it's in Harvard blue Metallic with 19inch Verona alloys and it still gets complements from people around the town and in the pub and all the school kids look at it, a Passat you know 🤣. It's really lovely and kill me to give it away but at the same time, fancy a change. Thank you for your experience, I'll keep it on board. Wait time is a disgrace
I would like to see how it feels meeting a car driving like this, because that's the important part. Even though you're boxing out the are around the oncoming traffic, the headlights are still punching out a lot of power that in my eyes can be disturbing to oncomng traffic as it creates a halo around your car. Personally I feel this system is thinking more of the driver who owns the vehcile with this system, rather than oncoming traffic, that's my take on this. I'd still need to experience it myself to draw a full conclusion, because it's really hard to capture on camera how it feels to actually sit in a car at night and you're driving toward a car like that.
I had these on an early model Mk4 Octavia and they were awful. The blanking sector appeared to be offset from the intended target. As a result, they dazzled other drivers on the road. I've got some videos on RUclips that show this. I tried to get the dealer to fix it but they clearly weren't trained in how to assess and fix as their only solution appeared to be to shine them against a wall in their workshop and say it looked ok. I ended up rejecting the car (for this and other reasons) and bought a Tiguan instead. This also has matrix lights and they work brilliantly. Great tech but they really need to ensure they have the support in place to fix them when things go wrong.
Great vision in the night from them i had a 21 VRS mk4 but i always got flashed on motorways and normal roads with hem in auto i drive a Seat Tarraco FR now wotht he LED auto lights i find them much better but the dip beam is a bit to low i must adjust them up a bit but main led beam is fab
Oh Lordy, imagine when that goes wrong when the car is 2nd hand. And 'clever' lighting never seems to work that well when the road is very shiny with reflective wetness.
@@christianronn5301 Any machine's serviceability is reduced by complexity, and modern cars seem to be adding complexity at an alarming rate. A repair of something like this (or say, adaptive cruise) might write-off an otherwise decent second-hand car.
I have these on my vRS and I think they're a liability. When locked on dip on a dual carriageway the kick up to the left shines right inside vehicles I'm passing.You can see the Gard being lamped as you passed him. The dealer has checked them on a beam alignment tool and test driven at night and reckons they're fine. My advice - don't bother. The adaptive bit is fine, but that's not much of the use.
They look fantastic, but god help you when they get broken or go wrong, my adaptive bi xenon went wrong after 4 years it cost a small fortune to diagnose and fix, then one got broken in minor bump a year later and it nearly wrote the car off bearing in mind it was a 5 mph bump!
They are OK till they fail. I've got an 2017 F30 335d BMW with Adaptive LED Headlights with Hi-beam assist. They are mint, but when the OS low beam failed, I'm now faced with a £2000+ bill to repair them!!!!! And that's just one side!!!!!!!!
Retrofitting, forget it. Way too much tech involved. But it’s available on superminis like the Corsa now so you’ll be able to buy one used in the future.
The VW group Matrix headlamps can see 18 different object, and block them out. They are brilliant. People do not realise at 40 MPH you can drive "faster" than your lights. Meaning by time you see object, it is too late to stop. All automatic main beam lights are safer, HID, LED and Laser are better still - they can illuminate up to 600 metres ahead.
Matrix systems are great. That said any modern headlight will do a good job when in propper working condition. For exemple, here the low beams are clearly aimed too low, something that is sadly very common. I took a short video where I show what you're supposed to see with the low beam only, it's at 130+ kph (80mph) and my iPhone doesn't do it justice : ruclips.net/video/oNtkJ3W8eD8/видео.html&ab_channel=dufonrafal
I drove at night from Beer Sheva to Eilat( 260 km, israel) with my volkswagen tiguan allspace premium elegance 2022 and the Matrix iq led headlights works just perfect.
The Superb is also, arguably, the most attractive looking car out today.
I had a car behind me on a country road the other night with these. They were actually improving my view too even when cars were oncoming. Great idea.
