I came back in the dark on country roads this evening and I find the 1300gs headlight very poor. It has the pattern of the LED segments in the headlight beam and has gaps in the light with dark stripes.
What is the standard headlight like if you don't select the headlight Pro option and pay an extra £460 for it! ??. Wish I hadn't selected it!. I presume it's still an Led headlight. According to the literature the headlight Pro is supposed to be better and has cornering light and other extra functions. What extra functions I can't see anything happening with the light when cornering.
Quote from the BMW configurator :-- "Driving lights, high-beam headlights and cornering lights come in an LED matrix design. Modern lighting functions and headlight range adjustment are available. This way, you can optimally illuminate the road to suit the driving situation."
What modern lighting functions & headlight range adjustment? Do they mean the screw on the back if the light that adjusts both the high beam & the dip at the same time. The same function as you had on a 1965 ford escort
-- headlight adjuster screw!.
The headlight on my previous 1250gs had the adaptive headlight which tilted the beam when you cornered. Bit of a novelty but at least it worked and the headlight was fantastic compared to this one with it's fantailed pattern and missing light gaps in the beam.
I'll try and post a photo of the beam pattern. Is it just mine that's faulty or are all the 1300gs headlights as bad.
