Talking of oncoming lorries flashing, if you approach the brow of a hill, any oncoming lorry will appear over the the horizon cab and driver first, followed by the tall grille and (finally!) by the headlights. It’s only when the lights finally appear that the headlights dip. Lorry drivers must curse auto dip in cars!

If you’re driving along a dark road and some poor sod is waiting at a T junction, it won’t “see” that car’s headlamps and stay on main beam.

The end finally came with me when, because of an odd combination of oncoming traffic, gaps and reflective road signs, my car was on dip for most of the time and then suddenly “flashed” its main beam just as I was coming up to the T junction! Fortunately, the car at the T junction didn’t pull out.

If this is the level of sophistication of auto dip, lord help us with fully autonomous cars! Shocked

England 2015 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 SE Tech Auto Fuji WhiteDiscovery 4

Hi, I've just fitted a used high beam assist mirror and activated it in the ccf settings, HBA fitted (yes) HBA ACTIVATE) yes and (uk) yes. I have the green auto headlight on dash on start up but it does not switch high beam on or off, could I have missed something in the ccf settings or is it probably duff, or even can they be that bad/un responsive 😁

Does it have to have full beam selected on the stalk? I did in the Nissan we had.

I'm trying to remember here but have you got it switched on in the vehicle service menu, the one where your oil level, tyre pressures etc are set up.

Ah ha, no I haven't been in there, hopefully that is the missing link, thanks dan. 👍 I'll take a look.

Not sure, but I don’t think the later models have the HBA via the mirror, I know the MY16 doesn’t.

Sensor located just below the Rain Sensor.

Hi, no it's not on mine but I bought rear mirror with camera type sensor on it and its apparently fit and enable and job done. I'm hoping anyway. Very Happy

Just my tuppence worth.
Worst bloody invention ever. I live in a village with no street lights so always carry a torch. Usually takes about 2 minutes before I can see anything again. And cycling between local pubs at night (I'm a drinker with a cycling problem not a MAMIL) it's downright dangerous. Driver aids my a Censored e. Gizmos for lazy f Censored s.

Hi David,
Thanks for your feedback it’s a very good point.
In no how you feel I also live in a village with no street lights and I keep seeing this Censored up cyclist riding from pub to pub all over the Censored place shining a Censored torch in my Censored eyes, now thinking about it were do you live Exclamation Rolling with laughter Sorry David I couldn’t resist, I’m only pulling your chain. Laughing Thumbs Up

No in all seriousness I do live in a village and hate it when I take my dog walking at night and motorists don’t dip when oncoming, your right it is blinding for short period. Thumbs Up

Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
Gilly1, I doubt my torch or bicycle lamp would dazzle anything, but I've seen the ones you're on about. What batteries do they take and how short a time do they last???
Any more than 1 mile between pubs and you can forget it, so sorry to say twas not I Laughing

Might help if you post a pic of what you purchased!

If there’s no camera there .. it’s never going to work

It is used so is a chance it may not even work but want to make sure I’m activating correct ccf settings.
