New Headlight Setting: Low Beam Dynamic Lighting?

Can’t remember if this was always available but I just saw a low beam dynamic lighting setting in the Settings > Lights menu. I feel certain it wasn’t there when I purchased the car as I would definitely turned it on (it was off). Anyone know if this setting was always there or when they added it? Was it maybe 2.6.1 that was just released that broke the suspension?

That setting was introduced in 2025 unless you had someone like Max code it for you on older model years. There are a number of threads that reference this setting.

Thanks. I missed those threads snd frankly never noticed it until yesterday’s software update for me.

It adjusts the headlights based on speed, turning and driving conditions I think.

The setting does a lot more. I remember there was much discussion of the update you received (I didn't get it as my 2023 model as it is too old), but I don't think it is related to this thread. Check out this thread - IHC+ aka ILS+, Digital Rain, Star Wave, AMG Package, Region Change, Mercedes me activ - MBWorld.org Forums

I don’t have the bottom low beam option.

You'll need to contact Max to have it programmed. @EleBest is your guy.

Note: There are others that offer programming services, but MANY of us have used Max and have great things to say about him. Check this thread for the accolades.
