Hill adjustable lighting

How can I add this? I have adaptive LED programmed and working but this wasn't part of it.

I thought that was an adaptive headlight function. At least that what my OM says...
Quote:

Adaptive light control
The concept
Adaptive Light Control is a variable headlamp
control system that enables dynamic illumination
of the road surface.
Depending on the steering angle and other parameters,
the light from the headlamp follows
the course of the road.
In tight curves, e.g., on mountainous roads or
when turning, an additional, corner-illuminating
lamp is switched on that lights up the inside of
the curve when the vehicle is moving below a
certain speed.
Activating
Switch position with the ignition switched
on.
The turning lamps are automatically switched
on depending on the steering angle or the use
of turn signals.
To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adaptive
Light Control does not swivel to the driver's side
when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When driving in reverse, only the turning lamp is
active.
Self-leveling headlights
The self-leveling headlights feature adapts the
light distribution to the contours of the road.
The light distribution is lowered on hilltops to
avoid blinding oncoming traffic and tilted in depressions
to increase visibility.

What do you mean by you have Adaptive LED Programmed and working? If you mean Glare-Free High Beam has been coded, it is now known that it in fact DOES NOT work on US cars.

Adaptive Beam Throw is functional from the factory on any car with Adaptive Lights and isn't disabled for US Cars. No coding is required to activate it. With LED's it's more subtle as the arrays will first vary the intensity to shorten or lengthen the beam throw. If the car determines more adjustment is required, the stepper motors will slowly adjust as well.

Read my edit above please. Glare Free High Beam or Intelligent Lighting as you call it is not fully functional with coding on a US car.

Don't know what to tell you. I had mine coded by octopump and they work. I've commented on the timing of the 'tunnel' but they work most of the time.

They look like the video below. I just can't see the hill adjustment. I'll ask octopump if he knows about this. Maybe he can add it.

The "Hill Adjustment" is there and always has been. It's extremely subtle. You won't see sudden changes. This is by design.


I was one of the very first to do GFHB coding about 2 years ago and have been working with several others for some time now after it became clear it is NOT fully functioning.

I don't need the BMW Video of a 7er which is a different type of system. I have my own which shows the issues. At 3:32, the beam pattern is clearly visible on the rear of the Semi.



In Diagnostic GFHB Alignment mode, the LED Array that operates Glare Free HIgh Beam is not dimming 2 of the 4 LEDs as can be seen in the first image. The array at the lower Right should be half illuminated. Looking at the light projected from this, 10m from a flat vertical surface, a perfectly square tunnel 4' 8-5/8" (144cm) wide should be present equally divided in half with the centerline of the vehicle as the reference. As can be seen in the second image, it is only 10" wide. There is no way to access the Individual LED control through coding. It's deep in programming and we're still not done resolving it.
