So, after evaluating mine for a few nights it definitely seems to be working. No one has flashed me. However, maybe it's that the lights on the X3 are just not that amazing because to see it happening I've had intentionally look for the light channeling and same for oncoming cars. It's not really a night and day difference but it was certainly an easy enough to do.

They do down code the overall brightness of the lights overall in the US because of our stupid government regulations. I wish there was a way to undo that coding but I've never seen that.

I love the country but we sure have some stupid laws. It wasn't until just the past few years where Congress finally approved that the cars could come with all of this light bending channeling stuff So that this would just come on cars from the factory. But probably won't actually start seeing on cars for who knows a few more years

It's been legal for a year or two. Somehow I don't see BMW making it happen anytime soon. I think there are somehow more legal hoops to still jump through. But otherwise yes, it would be a simple enough software update.

It's really noticeable in my car. Especially on back roads where there is no other illumination. The only time I can't tell the difference is on the highway. On the highway you can see it trying to turn on one of the extreme right or left side LEDs, but it doesn't do much since highways around here are pretty well lit.

The lights themselves have something like half the wattage that our friends across the pond get. |

I got flashed tonight! this is the 2nd time I am out at night since I coded this anti-dazzle function, 1 out of 2 IS bad. The road was a bit tricky, the on coming car was going uphill and I was going downhill, so maybe my sensors didn't see his headlights to dim the highbeams in time. Anyone else got flashed since you turned on this feature?

Same here, I can’t imagine any scenario where it would be any more or less flummoxed if it were just simply on auto.

For what it's worth, I haven't been flashed once in just over an year since coding.
