The USA is just about completely... er, well, they have legislation against adaptive headlights. Right now adaptive features besides levelling is mostly banned in the USA. This has been the case for years and the industry has been lobbying over there to allow the technology.

 

They're not banned here or in the rest of the world. Having experienced them personally, they are great technology.

high and low beam running at the same time (usa rule is high and low beam must be separated)

high-end bmw already have this feature built in sometime liao, no?

 

the cheapo version of it for lower end bmw is high beam assist ...

ie: no car in front or oncoming car switch to high beam, got car switch to low beam ... auto-switch high and low beam

looks like not only SG got archaic laws that goes against modern technology...

 

USA also has a ban against brake fluid that isn't yellow.... so the fantastic ATE Super Blue can't be used there. haha.

A 2013 video showing that an archaic 1968 rule basically bans all of the newer lighting technology and which from the video, we hear that all the major car manufacturers including homegrown GM etc are campaigning against... and its a classic click-bait title... "Audi lights banned" :a-good:

can't understand why such a great headlight gets banned in the US.!!

I can understand if Singapore bans it because it likes to ban everything, but why, US??
