Dynamic/adaptive headlights

[aidanjaye]

How much extra was the option of the adaptive "dancing" lights. Mine has them - just wondering on initial costs?

£325


However, it also came as part of the technology pack iirc.

So what stuff would be extra over a standard RS4 ? Anyone know?

Ive heated rear seats and apparently thats part of another pack.

Would be good to see a complete options list.

My lights are on auto too and as I park in forwards into a darkish garage I see the dance every time I start the engine.

I don't have an Auto option as I don't have auto-lights (as far as I can tell). Hence my confusion!

Just to emphasise my point, the dancing lights on startup are not an indication of adaptive lights.

If you're looking for confirmation of adaptive functionality then the showroom thingy mentioned above is prob more useful

I THINK the up down is the std lights but adaptive are properly dancing, but have only seen an adaptive car so can't say for sure...

My startup sequence is like Sonny said. Dancing in both horizontal & vertical planes.

Correct.

Up and down only = xenons.

Up and down PLUS side to side = adaptive xenons.

So what has Andre3000 got?

8EC mate. 4 moves on startup, L-R-U-D

Could be a retrofit before my time but I doubt it; I've not noticed any swivelling in motion & it defo doesn't swivel when stood still.

I did think it weird when it danced sideways, didn't make any sense to me for it to do that.

Adapative lights don't move at standstill unless you turn on Showroom Mode with VAG-COM.

Hi all - does this mean that if you have "8Q5 = Headlight-range adjustment, automatic/ dynamic with dynamic bending light (AFS 1)" then your lights will adjust automatically for driving on the right ie when in France. hence no need for beam deflectors. Would be useful. Excuse my ignorance. Cheers

[MB2]

No it does not. You can use VCDS to put the lights into "tourist" mode for driving on the right but std and adaptive headlights don't adjust for the side of the road you are on.

[kerraddoo01]

Thanks MB2 - appreciated. Worth an ask anyway. Cheers
