Adaptive Head Lights - Coming to the US???

[94boosted]

I need to see a front end picture with the lights on.. I've heard it utilizes the upper lights. As it is right now, the upper lights are almost useless. High and low beams come out of the bottom light. Anyone with"glare free" want to provide a pic with low and high beams on?

Here you go, 2024 Lariat 501A with the LED Projector Headlights.

Headlights on (Auto Mode) aka Low Beams only

Low Beams, High Beams and Fog Lamps all on (Bambi mode)

Thank you! In addition to some pretty cool tech, that must be a lot brighter on dark roads. Has there been any down side?

Doesn't seem like Glare Free works anymore, so I'd say that's a pretty big downside.

Hello All, first post here. I could really use your help. I have a 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand touring with pretty much every option available, including the adaptive air suspension and the lighting package. My issue is that I'm attempting to enable the anti-glare headlights that are available on the Canadian models. All the sittings for the F-150 have worked so far, but I'm stuck on the headlight control model section. All the settings here are for F-150. I need the specific settings for my Aviator. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I would ask the Lincoln forum but it's pretty much a graveyard over there. You guys seem much more active and helpful, hence my reason for coming here instead.

So I had a bit more time under the belt with this enabled, and holy fuck does it make a difference.

I'll try to post some dash cam footage showing how well it works, if it even does it justice...

I don't ever want to give up my 2022. It's the sweet spot of no deletions, tunable, and can enable glare-free..

Only delete I have is auto start stop
Nov 2021 build date..
Yes glare free is the bees meow
These are taken at 70 mph...

Really dumb 24s don't have it
The 25 expedition looks like has the gimballed led lights??

I have it enabled on my 23 Platinum.
Love it.
I also noticed it directs the headlight beam downward when you're behind another vehicle, so it doesn't shine through their back window.

I just went from a 2022 Lariat with the dynamic bending headlights to a 2024 Lariat with the same headlights. While I never activated the glare free in the 22, I feel that the 24 is closer to glare-free than the 22 was. My brights will ramp up instead of "snapping" on like the 22 and the side-to-side movement when cornering or going through a curve seems to be more subtle and smooth. The 22 side-to-side seem very mechanical. Additionally, there is no discernible line through the high and low beams when they are both on. The field of view is awash with light. These are the absolute best headlights I've ever had in a vehicle. And that is extremely important the older I get! Night driving can be daunting.

The glare-frees have a ramp option, it does it ~95% of the time unless it's a sudden surprise popup like a car cresting a hill close, then it will ramp down that particular portion.

Glare free is huge difference in its operation vs regular old bending. If you're behind a car, the brights on the left and right side of the road are still on. If a car comes the other way, when it's within range of the area of illumination it will dim it down. The slow ramp up / down is nice.

If you never had glare free enabled then it's not a surprise that you're not able to tell a difference or believe the 24 looks different. That's just the ramping you're seeing, not glare free features.

It's not that smart, what you're seeing is the lights change angles from brake diving. When you engage the brakes enough to drop the front end, the lights bend upwards to counteract. When you stop and the front end comes back up they point back down. For my retrofit I installed a knob so that I can adjust the beam as desired to be able to get the lights out of another vehicle's eyes in such a situation where the suspensions sensors alone are inadequate.

Seriously... mine does this while driving, not just under braking conditions.
When the car moves out from in front of me, the beam moves up to project further down the road.

Kinda sounds like you've got glare free enabled !?
