Unfortunately TOPIx doesn't have the newer style lamp units displayed ..but I thought that the front indicators were now LED rather than a lamp  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

no there is orangish bulb in there but bitch to remove if it comes to replacements
looks as if nice tactics to get customer pay extra instead going for cheapo bulb replacement
I wonder how durable rear LED are going to be

If the MY2016 is the same as the MY2015 according to the manual you have to remove the headlamp and them you have easy access to the indicator bulb Cheers Ian

must have been manual for super dummies that indicates such a feking logical thing as removing the headlamp pal
it is tight where the bulb sits and also circuit board and wiring in the way

Sorry Greg I assumed you had already removed the unit but that access was still difficult. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Been digging into the beam switching and it appears you can change the direction if you have HBA installed/ enabled
I do not have it although I have Xeon lamps.. does the system require additional sensor to be installed to get it working?
there are 3 settings in BCM section while surfing though the car modules:
• Auto high beam 1
Not fitted -----------------------------extra sensor required then?
• Auto high beam 2 ---------------> AHB 2 ans 3 what is the difference for gurus?
Disabled
• Auto high beam 3
Rest of world
