    All,

    One more query, when the high beam function is on for matrix (Auto under the sign), how do to switch it off? When I push the stalk back it goes to full beam. I have to move headlight switch from Auto. Is that right?

    Thanks again.

    Umm you've got me thinking now...

    So push stalk to set to auto...you shouldn't need to in theory deactivate it. As the sensors should pick up oncoming traffic, street lights etc.

    I'll need to test in the car if that makes sense to see how you manually deactivate it and if it's the same way as turning on then in theory yes you flash someone.

    Hi Guys

    when your in auto to switch back to manual just give a quick pull towards you then it goes to manual

    having said that the auto light need to be blue not white

    so the matrix lights needs to be active and in main beam mode when you pull the stick towards you with a quick pull release

    if it's in auto but in dip beam this won't work and just stays in auto

    hope this makes sense

    Thanks Max. Will try next time. Not sure when or if I will ever switch them off, but good to know how.

    Separate I note I noticed they don't come on readily (sign goes blue). I was driving on dual carriage way for about 1 mile and they never came on. Will do more tests today. Same for everyone? Just in my old car they would come on as soon as you activated and then do their dance.

    They don't work in towns built up areas and major junctions where heavy lit with street lamps but should work on duel carriage ways if no street lamps

    Thanks Max, the road I was on was well lit hence not coming on. As the days get shorter, I will test further.

    You need a nice quiet dark country road to really appreciate the matrix lights.

    You'll also notice them popping on/off on motorways sometimes it'll surprise you to its activation and at others it'll baffle you

    But they are great!

    Also (sad I know) if you're ever parked front pointing towards a window and you can see the reflection of the lights in the window - start the car and keep looking at the reflection in the window - you'll see the LED light up and go off one by one - very cool
