Having BenzNinja code both my Mercedes for EURO ILS+ is likely the best upgrade I've ever done to any vehicle. The improvements are immediately obvious and worth every $$$.

I never feel like I'm "over-driving" my headlights, like I used to. The low beam is now dynamic vs. static, while the high beams are brighter and amazing to watch in action! There's a special place in German heaven for the engineers who came up with this magic.

The U.S. roads will be so much safer at night, once this lighting technology becomes fully adopted on U.S. vehicles.

If you don't want to ever overdrive your headlights, you need Cibié Pencil Beams--at least 1 mile ahead is visible.

Have you driven a car equipped with Intelligent Lighting... AKA ILS? Leave the lights in the auto position with high beams enabled and the car does the heavy lifting. Cars coming toward you or in front are not blinded while signs get lit up and daylight everywhere it is safe. No need for an aftermarket alternative.

ILS+ and "Adapted High Beam" (in the article cited above) refer to the same thing, just different names.
