HD Matrix lights

[CHP]

There was a lot of discussion about HD Matrix lights but comparison to standard Matrix wasn't convincing. I ordered HD anyway as I found Matrix (HD not available) on Macan inferior to my previous cars. Drove on motorway yesterday night for first time, wow, it's an amazing piece of kit. The illumination of your lane (really, really accurate) is always on and frankly brilliant. It's not just a gimmick, I found it rather helpful and less tiering. Illumination of street signs is the best I have seen so far. In front of me was a M5 so could compare directly. Country roads were too busy to see advantage. I can only compare HD to Macan standard matrix, but well worth optioning if you like to drive at night.

They work but I don’t think they are as quick as the ones in the BMW because last night twice I got flashed by oncoming traffic, plus not a fan of the way it switches from dip to full beam, again the transition is on the slow side.

Can’t knock the quality of the full beam and its coverage which is excellent.

Do you have HD? I had exactly that problem with standard matrix on Macan. As mentioned above, drove behind latest generation M5 on middle lane. Mine adjusted quicker, BMW illuminated all 3 lanes whereas mine only middle lane and signs were much, much brighter with my lights.

I had the i5M60 and genuinely their switch from dipped beam to full beam was almost instantaneous but the HDs on the Cayenne do this weird fill from the sides inwards or is it outward, can’t remember as it’s only the once I have driven at night. Like I said above twice I was flashed from oncoming traffic and I can’t recall this happening before with the i5 but the quality of the full beam is next level, super bright.
