Leave them on, the tech is well proven.Jonttt wrote:I've found LED running lights annoying since Audi first made them popular (at least Volvos where old type bulbs). They have two brightness levels but often just seem too bright when light levels are duskish.
I was shocked to find that on Range Rovers they now have "intelligent" headlights. If you leave them on this setting then your headlights ome on automatically until they can "sense" another car (presumably from lights) and they then switch off. I thought the whole point was to turn your headlights off BEFORE you saw other lights full on, not after you have already dazzled them ! I turned this feature off but you have to find the setting hidden in menus and I think most just leave it on not even realising (who reads the manual anyway).

Rear brake holders should get points on there licenses.
As for that new detection then dip beam, what a load of old tosh.
You should not be running on full beam.
Rant over.

Interesting you mention this Jon, last night coming over Saddleworth I went round one of the bends and was confronted by a new Range Rover coming the other way. I was in the A5 which has good lights already but the headlights from the RR were incredible and I couldn't see anything - not the best place in the world to not be able to see the edge of the road.Jonttt wrote:To clarify I was not referring to automatic lights on the Range Rover which I think most cars have now, I agree that is proven technology. The Range Rover has intelligent full beam ie if it senses it's ok it auto switches on full beam and then reverts to dipped when it needs to. I don't know how it can do this without sensing lights but surely that can't be as good as a human and thus there must be a period of time when you dazzle another car. Anyway I'm paranoid it will and like to choose when I want full beam on which is not very often so I have changed the setting to off. I just hope more cars don't go that way as I don't see how you can't dazzle even for a second before the car senses lights coming your way

Noticed over the last 12 months or so that a number of recently registered vehicles (can't recall makes) had no rear lights on but had driving lights blazing away at the front. It always seemed to be on motorways as well.pingu wrote:I see at least one car per week on the motorway at night with just driving lights (so no rear lights). The well-lit sections are obviously bright enough for the auto lights not to be activated.
Lights are to see and be seen.
