This is so dumb.
Unfortunately I don't have Matrix LED's on my Cayenne...because Porsche decided I wasn't worthy of them (although they did try to make it up to me later). But that's another story.
In any event, I have a BMW M3 with adaptive Laser lights and have enabled the ROW matrix anti-dazzle adaptive highbeam pattern. They are stunning. They activate in all kinds of conditions I never would think, including when following behind multiple cars AND oncoming traffic. They illuminate the sides of the road, road signs, shoulders, past cars in front of me into the oncoming lane (when no cars oncoming of course), etc. Given the fact that I am in the suburbs and it's well lit, I didn't expect them to be this active. But to my surprise they are.
But I have yet to be flashed by oncoming traffic even ONCE.
It's so ridiculous that we're required to turn this functionality off.

The charge varies depending on your location and terms you agree to. It has been lower for those who have come to him in the Atlanta area. The lowest charge I've seen him publicize was $500.
I thought the cost was fairly trivial in light of the approximately $125K in total I paid for my Cayenne during the first few weeks ... vehicle cost, sales tax, tow hitch, winter wheels and tires, etc.

My car thinks it's in Europe so it has full functionality on the headlights. It also thinks it's an M3 CS as far as the steering, transmission and differential tuning goes.
