I then unplugged the module only to find the 99.xx% screen came back on for a few second. I bet the installation was not 100% complete and had the step (7) rerun again. This time, the radio screen did come on after "success" screen but I did not unplug the module and determined to wait. After some 30-60-sec later the 99.xx% screen did come back on and scrolled through the final installation. This time the "remove module" text was showed.

Will test out the light show tomorrow as we have a weather warning tonight. Will report back my experience.

Hopeful the above will help you with a smooth installation.

Took the car out after installed Vladimir's software. It works as described and I'm happy. It's foggy outside and the fog provides the best visual on how the beam is working.

E450 presently.
I'm wondering if this 'hack' moves it to the EU spec. I just read up on this and apparently even the updated regulation in the USA is gimped (dimmer). So I'd like to get mine to the EU spec.

I had to swap my drivers side mirror to EU glass as the stupid US regulation doesn't allow for wide-view (convex). Of course this important US safety measure would increase the risk of me crashing into things cuz I don't know what's around me. This appears to be more of the same.

2022 E53 Cabriolet
I just took delivery of my 2022 E53 Cabriolet in Montreal Canada, and to my surprise the full Multi-beam features are activated on my car. At first I was freaking out because I thought the auto high beam assist just kept engaging the high beams even if cars were in front of me. However, nobody was flashing me back... Then I noticed the light patterns changing live, really cool!!!

Thanks for confirming, I noticed on the build sheet and MB Canada's site it says Adaptive High Beam Assist Plus (replaced by the previous Adaptive High Beam Assist on PFL models), the plus is precisely what does means. Further reading the description confirms that, now we are your confirmation from an owner : ) It started for MY21 I believe.

I placed an order for a 2022 E5450 4matic last month March 12th and could not order the multi-beam headlights. Wonder if all the rule/law changes is why?
I am in the US.

I would think it is because of chip shortage though but maybe it does have to do with the changes.

Yeah I thought of that after I made the post. Who knows maybe a combination of the two.

Got me curious actually. Was it simply deleted and blocked from ordering according to your dealer? If not, what did they say might be the cause?

I was with my sales agent watching while he was entering it in Netstar. (I beleive it was Netstar) It blocked him from ordering them. It did not give any additional details as to why.

MULTIBEAM Headlamps are blocked from ordering, or subject to limited availability, on several models now. Probably due to shortages and not law changes.
