Yes I know they are now engineered to do slightly different things, my point was really why engineer two solutions to altering the headlight pattern when presumably one could have done both jobs - maybe either cornering or steering headlights are illegal in some markets. Cheers

It seems that maybe I don't have aaptives then. I test drove several that did have it, and I thought it was great. The Xenon headlights look exactly the same as the ones that did have it, with the exception of those little cornering lights in the sidelight lens. D3 TDV6 HSE 2008 Buckingham Blue (current)

I think it's more to do with the adaptives xenon lamp units capability to bend the light is limited ..whereas the corner lights shine out at right angles to the motor. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Yes they are halogen, not sure which bulb.


Pedestrians? what are those? According to Clarkson we are all to fat to be botherd by walking any where! Wink
