How is E-ABC at night?

I know the E-ABC does not promise to work at night due to poor lighting but for those of you that have your auto and have E-ABC, what is your opinion? Do street lights sometime provide enough light? Does the "Advanced Lighting" give enough light to do the job. I would just like to hear about your experience.

Personally, I don't notice that much of a differences in term of ride quality in comfort mode with E-ABC between day and night but that could be must me.
As for the advanced lighting, let just say that the US version is just an automatic highbeam and nothing else. All the other advanced features are almost all disabled due to US regulation.

Thank you for answering my question about the E-ABC at night. I thought it would get more interest but I guess not. Thanks again

That is totally my personal opinion. Coming from a Nissan with a regular suspension setup so its definitely an improvement. But it also make it harder for me to compare minor differences in ride quality (day vs night with E-ABC)
Another thing is, I travel a lot less since the start of COVID-19, so my opinion is based on my memory of my commute a few months ago, which could be wrong.

The only function that is said to not work at night is Road Scanning. The difference with and without is very subtle IMO. All other E-ABC functions work at all times.
