I have a 2021, GLS 450. I'm wondering how and who to get to enable my adaptive driving beam

You need option code 640 multibeam LED lights on your vehicle.

What does this change about headlight performance?

Hi, feel free to contact me at

by WhatsApp. You need prepare one coding device: called OpenPort 2.0 around US$30-40 off ebay or Amazon and one windows laptop $99 from Walmart.

Cheers!

wildta

or your own windows laptop if you have one.

You can purchase our coding below:

It includes the obd device and coding.

Does doing the adaptive driving beams really make a big difference? From what I've gathered, in the US, you won't see the cornering effect?
what does upgrading this with this coding procedure actually do and what options do you get more with the headlights?

wildta

Yes. No cornering effect due to US hardware lack of corner lights. RJ was pretty clear on his response from the other thread:

Yes, it makes a BIG difference. You see, in order to enable the Intelligent Lighting functionality in the head unit, the headlamps themselves first have to be re-coded, to change them from U.S. ASE specifications to EURO specifications.

Since the headlamp coding is now set to EURO specifications, thereby ditching the archaic U.S. restrictions, the low beam pattern and functionality is dramatically improved, in addition to the newly added benefits of the intelligent high beams.

The low beam pattern is now dynamic, meaning that it can change according to speed and conditions. The most obvious change that I've noticed is that the low beam pattern around town is very wide, thereby illuminating the roadsides very well. I can see pedestrians, animals, basically everything. (see 1st photo below)



Whereas once I'm up to speed on the freeway, the beam pattern becomes longer and somewhat less wide, compared to in the city. (see 2nd photo below)



What this illustrates to me is how much safer and more advanced the EURO lighting specs are, compared to the severely outdated U.S. lighting regulations.

I've now been driving both my cars (W222 and X167) coded to EURO lighting for the last 5 months, through fall and winter, and I have NEVER been flashed by another motorist. So while I've been enjoying significantly improved low beam and high beam functionality, there is no perceptible dazzle or negative impact to other traffic. In a word: AWESOME!

Hope that helps!

I am new to this form, so I do not know much, but what is the difference between X167 and X166

wildta

GLS generations. 167 is the current generation which started in 2020. 166 generation started in 2012 and ended in 2019. Chat GPT spit this out:

Thank you. Who did your programming?

wildta

RJ. Have you read the other thread? If not, you should read the entirety of it. It's very helpful.

Idoccurt

Will
do. New to this form, and how to find what I read.
Thank you for your help. If you could copy and paste what you're referring to or at least send me a link again I would appreciate it. I feel kind of stupid that I can't find what you're talking about but I'll learn.

wildta

See post #10 above.

LeadfootCJ7

Will this change in programming void warranty coverage?

wildta

No.
