Multibeam LED High Beams
Hey all,
So I usually use auto high beams. I had did ILS coded but I had the coding reverted back because I didn't feel the lights were as bright as they were before and also had odd glitches like it putting the black box 10-15 feet above the car in front of me. After the coding was reverted back, I noticed that when I turned on the high beams that they would get bright, then a second later get brighter and the beam would be fuller. I was told by the coder that this is normal, but I don't remember ever noticing that the times I tried manual high beams when I first got the car. I noticed what's happening. When I turn the high beams on, the outer bulb gets bright and then a second later, the inner bulb gets bright.
Does anyone know if that is normal? Or can someone try manually turning on the high beams and let me know if it does the same thing?
Here are a couple videos showing it.

Thanks! I know my level sensor was throwing a code (which I'm having them look into in a couple of weeks) so I wasn't sure if it could be related to that or something else causing it. Good to know it's normal! Thanks again for confirming!

I never had the option. I had my coding done by RJ and when I asked about the menu option, he said with the facelift cars, there is no menu. I mentioned that in another thread and another user with a 450 facelift said he had the coding done by RJ and had the menu option in MBUX, when I asked RJ about that he said it must have been one of the first facelift ones they coded and they learned that the menu didn't actually do anything and that sometimes an error would be on the instrument cluster saying to select right/left drive mode or something like that.
