According to the tracker mine has left Ingolstadt after spending two weeks in QC. So hopefully mid March.
That’s only a few weeks away, so make sure you get some pics up 👍
It is now at the port of exit so fingers crossed. Pics will come as soon as I have it.

Got them on my 6 and mixed feelings - great when they work but I have had a number of camera faults and they are slow to react on tight corners dazzling cars. I just gave up and went back to old school manual control. I don't think the tech is good enough yet to pay for it (it was free on the 6).

I thought about it, but then I didn't find them hugely better than the standard lights, and having just seen a bill for £1200 for a replacement drivers side front lamp on my B8, I'd hate to think what a replacement Matrix unit would cost if I damaged one

I do like the dynamic indicators... Any after market mods available to have them implemented?

Are the Dynamic Indicators the ones that sweep side to side ?
If so, they're pretty much standard on all Audi's now, no ?

Indicators standard on all cars now? :shock: :wink:

On the website, this is what it says for the "RS Matrix LED headlights with LED rear lights and dynamic front and rear indicators"

Audi Matrix LED technology provides precise illumination of the road whilst reducing the risk of dazzling other road users. Using information obtained from the vehicle’s sensors, camera and MMI Navigation it identifies the appropriate lighting required. Using these sources, Matrix LED dips or fully extinguishes individual lighting diodes when vehicles are detected ahead. Matrix LED calculates the appropriate lighting required and automatically dips or turns off individual lighting diodes, creating corridors of lights either side of the vehicle or the object in front of it. Includes dynamic front and rear indicators which sweep from inside to out with RS-specific darkened trims.

It's the last sentence that puzzles me. Read somewhere you only get front and read dynamic indicators with matrix headlights.

I’ve had them on numerous loan cars (Rs5, new Porsche Panny etc) and got them on the Merc now and I think they are very good.
