Never had an issue with them but then I live in Europe, where auto-adjusting/adaptive lights aren't just legal it's a requirement if you want to make the headlights permanent high-beams.

I wish adaptive lights were legal in the USA. Manufacturers like BMW have to disable the feature at the factory because their implementation isn't approved for usage in the USA.

I saw this, but apparently the European ones don't meet the US guidelines, and the Euro manufacturers aren't yet redesigning and recertifying their headlights to meet the US guidelines. The two brands I was looking at (BMW and Porsche) both still have this feature disabled on their 2025 US models.
