I don't know if I see that, but, I do see the various different "chunks" of beam pattern. The BMW's we have don't do that.
What do you see when you drive at night with your headlights?
Ok another one of those...I wonder if I'm not the only one type of questions.
When I drive at night I see little squares where the light projects. It's not like a uniform beam like I would expect. Instead, it's like little squares lined up horizontally across the horizon.
What annoys me is it looks like little downward V shaped spaces you'd see between your upper teeth where the gums are...ha. Do you guys see this too?

I think mine kind of do that and I have the pixel lights. It doesn't bother me because I live in a city and don't drive on many really dark roads.

Yes totally I live in the city and on city streets you don't notice it.I think mine kind of do that and I have the pixel lights. It doesn't bother me because I live in a city and don't drive on many really dark roads.
But I do notice it during random suburban drives at night
In certain instances I do notice it. Mostly up close when pulling up to an object like another car or garage.

Okay, so I don't have my L460 yet, it will be delivered in mid-May, but I'm a lighting freak and I did a bit of research on how the lights work on a RR, notably the difference between the two available options.
Simply put, both systems (Pixel and LED Image projection) work in exactly the same way, albeit the Pixel option is less sophisticated than the LED Image Projection system.
The way they work is by using a grid of tiny LED light sources to illuminate the road, and when the car detects an object in front of it, be it another car, a pedestrian, or a bicycle, the headlights automatically darken the area around where said object is located so as not to dazzle the driver, cyclist or pedestrian (or whatever else the object is, it's not limited to these three choices).
The difference between the two headlight options is this: the Pixel LED option can detect and create darkness 'cones' for up to 4 objects simultaneously, whereas the LED Image projection system can create darkness 'cones' for up to 16 objects simultaneously.
As to the artifacts you're describing, they're likely because the Pixel headlight option uses 4 smaller LED lenses in each headlight (which produce the shapes OP is seeing), whereas the LED Image projection headlights use two larger LED lenses for the same.
Lastly, FYI, these are among the most advanced automobile lighting systems in existence.
Also, they both only work or activate above 50kph.
I hope this helps.

- Premium LED (Available in US market)
- LED Pixel (Available in US market) +$550
- LED Scanning Matrix (Not available in US market) ~+$2000
In the US the headlights do not utilize the darkness cone capabilities.
thanks for the explanation
advanced or not these lights are not as good as my porsche or mercedes unfortunately lol

Thanks for the correction and further information. My explanation was based on the little information available online and was limited to the two 'smart' LED options as here in the EU, AB finishes have only options 2 or 3 in your list. Oddly, I could have picked Pixel LED or LED Scanning matrix and both were 'free' options (i.e. I could pick either without charge). No clue why this is, especially considering the price difference you quoted.There are three different lighting options:

Being in the US, the pricing difference I'm referencing between Pixel and Matrix is based off the unit price of the different part numbers of the light modules. A replacement Matrix assembly is ~$2,000 more than the Pixel assembly.Thanks for the correction and further information.

Yeah, that makes sense. My observation was based on the online configurator, which, quite oddly, lets you choose either option, each priced at 0€, probably due to the AB package.Being in the US, the pricing difference I'm referencing between Pixel and Matrix is based off the unit price of the different part numbers of the light modules.
