GR86 Adaptive headlights question

[jb1750]

So was just driving home in the dark and noticed the adaptive headlights moving quite noticeably as you turn the steering wheel. Got me wondering what happens on a slightly dampish road / roundabout, say late at night when it’s nice and quiet, and you may need to use a wee touch of opposite lock?? Do your headlights end up lighting up the hedge rather than the direction you’re headed??

I think you're duty bound to find out and then report back.
"It's okay officer, I was just conducting a scientific test of the headlight system..."

You'd need t turn it off in the settings before making such a maneuver - but that shows premeditation...

Seems like exactly what you need - if you're looking out of the side window, that's the direction you want the headlights to point as well...

Yes… but not really much worse than if not fitted or not turned off, as if your tail is really swinging out and the car is really drifting then front of car is not looking at the main direction of travel lol. All be quick if just a wee breakaway.
