Scotty-
How about a vid and some info about adaptive headlights? They have been illegal in the country until this year. Looks like pretty neat headlight technology. Thinking of waiting a couple years before jumping into the "get a new car" pool until adaptive headlights are available.

Adaptive headlights are nothing new. They were out in the early 2010s on BMWs. A former coworker had them on his then-brand new 2013 335i. I had a 1994 540i at the time with glass headlights and thought the adaptive lights were cool. Scotty's mentioned them recently. If I remember right, he had a customer with a Lexus whose adaptive headlights went bad and he put stationary light assemblies back in. They're neat on exotic toy cars, but they're stupid on day-to-day, average Joe cars because they're more electronic and computerized crap where it's not needed and is expensive to fix when it breaks. Headlights have been fixed in place for 90+ years and they've worked just fine.
Cool, but gimmicky, all to charge more $$ for when new and when they go bad. Not a feature I care about now or in the future. I want less automation and gimmicks not more.
Just another piece of electronic junk that will stop working and cannot seem to be fixed.
I had them on a 2009 RX350 and if we are talking about the same thing, they would put out light in the direction I was turning. Pretty neat at the time but not worth the extra money.
How much does it cost, how long will it last, and how much will it cost to repair when it breaks?
