BulletMagnet Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Adaptive brightness lights wind me up, from a distance on a country road they blind you and as you get closer they dim down to an acceptable level. This! So annoying, you think WTF do they have there full beams on -.- My mate has these on his '13 BMW and showed how they work while taking me for a spin. From the drivers seat, it's all great and stuff, but then one day he was following me and I still got dazzled no end. Told him about it and and he was quite apologetic, at least there is an option to turn the Auto Adaptive High Beams off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Also they use fog lights as cornering lights so one side will come on and off as your turn. Looks weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Agreed and if they sit stationary with their foot on the brake pedal because they can't find the handbrake they should go out after 5-10 seconds! Definitely agree and that's a pet peeve of mine. The amount of people that sit at traffic lights blinding you with there brake lights on when they've a perfectly good hand brake just takes the piddle. "Perfectly good handbrake"? So this doesn't apply to Zeds then? Mine works perfectly well providing it is pointing skywards like a private school boys first erection . I take it you've had much experience with this then Mr Jimmy Ballistic. Did ya fix it for them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No and it was the first thing that came to mind for terms of describing the Zeds handbrake position, ...no wait, erh that sounds even worse. It's an expression?! maybe? Definitely not the first thing that come's to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it, they are fog lights that just come on individual when cornering so surely they should be illegal to use unless there is reduced visibility...

Sharpen Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I think it's the E class mercs which are the worst to be behind with there terra watt led brake lights and I guess most are autos so they hold them with the foot brake. No merc driver uses their handbrake as it's on a pedal so not convenient to be applying in traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
