How do I know if I've got adaptive headlights - Nickj - 30-01-2016 06:28pm
As above really. I have the dark black edition headlights ( Vb) on a sept 2013. Would these be adaptive and how do you tell?

if the headlight beam follows the road on bends you have adaptive. or you can check it out on topix.

Can't seem to get topix to work? I've registered but still doesn't work. Do you have to pay for topixs? I need some wiring diagrams for the headlights. Would topix give me these?

Can you do this without registering? I've registered but had no email and can't seem to find where you put your vin?

open topix and log in at top of page then you will need the vin number to sign in . you vehicle features are listed on the left. along from vehicle features there is a printer decal then another decal to the right of the printer one . click on this and the full list will appear. you can print it off.
your adaptive headlights should bee listed there.

There is a simple and more apparrant way to see if you have adaptives. Go somewhere dark like a multistorey carpark and switch on the lights, at less than 30mph either a) switch on the indicator and look to see if a small spotlight comes on illumiating the curbside or b) at less than 30mph in the dark turn the steering wheel either way more than half lock and again you should see the curb illuminating light come on. I'm not sure (as I have never tried it) if you can also trigger the spot light with the car stopped and the lights on and turn the wheel, at least then you can get out to see which lamp comes on!

Adaptive swivel the headlights themselves as you turn, so wiggle the steering wheel to watch if the main beam itself moves (it should).
