I've been flashed many times by oncoming traffic when my coded gfhb is engaged, and I also see plenty of light bleed illuminating the rear of the vehicle I'm following. I agree that it's definitely not as glaring to other drivers as misaligned headlights or a poor LED bulb retrofit can be, but it does not work as BMW intended it to in the markets it was intended for.
I was very close to ordering German-spec headlight assemblies for my car in order to have proper gfhb, but the cost is tremendous and the resale value of my used headlights is uncertain. For the amount of night driving I do on rural roads it's not worth it. |
Hmm. Interesting that oncoming drivers have flashed their headlights at you. Wonder why it's not happening to others or myself.
So then, are you considering reverting the coding? Because in this case, the glare could be a safety issue for other drivers.
Yeah the euro headlights are still cost prohibitive. The only lucky chance is if you happen to get a used set for cheap somehow.
