AMG GT R headlights are they good?

Hello. I'm really intersted in buying GT R but I have one doubt about about this car. I drive alot in the night and I live in the mountains where roads have alot of turns and from what I know High Performance LEDs aren't adaptive in this car. My previous cars M3 E92 and Ferrari 458 had adaptive bixenons which gave me perfect corner vision. Now I drive Nissan GTR without adaptive lights and its much much worse, so bad that I want to get rid of this car.

Are Mercedes High Performance LEDs better than adaptive bixenon in the corners? If not, is there any reasonable possibility to upgrade them?

Thank you for your answers.

Night driving? Mountains?

I suggest an off off road vehicle or suv.

I own a GT R and find the headlights to be excellent. I really think you’d have no issues.

Also true in the Santa Monica Mountains although I'm not sure the scenery is as pretty as Highlands, NC.

I had a 458 which I traded for the gtr...the Ferrari headlights were the worst I had ever experienced..needed to drive in high beam just to see halfway normal..the gtr headlights are light years better(no pun intended)🤣

The only issue with the lights is that if you come from other vehicles that have adaptive lights that illuminate where you turn your steering wheel, you will will be disappointed. I had it on my CLS63 and have it on the Macan and it is amazing. Otherwise, the OEM lights are great.

Damn... this is exacly what I'm looking for... do you think is there any possibility for upgrading OEM lights to being adaptive?

+1. The PDLS on my GT3 provides superior night illumination compared to the GTS on winding roads.
