Does 'Adaptive Xenon' always imply the turning lights? A rumor (or false info) says that this feature is not and has never been available for US market. So I need a confirmation from a US owner.
I have adaptive Xenons and they seem to work differntly to the video. To the outside of my main headlights there is a small lens with a powerful led in it. When I turn left or right this led lights up that corner of the road. It works really well.
Guys no, adaptive xenons DO turn.
The lights you are talking about are the corner assist lights.
Its a different thing.

they're not the adaptive xenons.... Or at least that is not the adaptive xenon function.
From Range Rover:
"Adaptive Xenon HID Headlamps (Requires headlamp wash)
These advanced Xenon HID headlamps swivel to follow the road, while static bending lamps provide additional illumination in tight bends. "
I have highlighted in bold.
The cornering "spot" lights only come on below 30mph and after you have indicated in the direction you want to light up, or you turn the steering wheel more than a certain amount in one direction. I must admit to never really having noticed the headlamp turning on any of the cars with adaptive headlight I have owned. What I will say is the RRE adaptive BiXenons are much better at lighting up the road than either the RRS or FFRR ones. The last RRS I had I even fitted the really awful looking additional driving lights to the RRS because even on full beam the adaptives were not that good, the driving lights made a big difference to the spread and range of the headlights.
