Advance light package not working?
I've had my 2018 longroof 2.5 years now. I noticed a few months ago that the high-beam-on display has changed from the very cool, bringing up in the center and fan out, to a standard on/off across the whole spectrum like any random car. I can't seem to find any settings in the UI that would have changed this. Did something break? I've never had them coded, US spec car.

Activate ILS by pushing left control stock on steering wheel forward. Dashboard should show light symbol with an A in it.

So I see now that the lighting switch on the dashboard needs to be set to auto for this to work. I did test it out last night, and the auto dim works fine (too well, in fact) but the auto-high beam after is quite laggy and a number of times simply did not come back on when it clearly should have, and I had to manually move the stalk to get it to function again.

At any rate, I'm considering Euro lamps and programming to go with it; the true capabilities of the multibeam headlights are amazing.

I don't know it you need to change out the headlights, but coding for full ILS makes the headlights a lot better.

The coding will work with US headlamps. Makes a huge difference. Don't know what the Euro lamps bring - different marker light color maybe?

Euro lamps look better IMO. They remove the amber marker embedded in the assembly.
