Self leveling headlights?

[Santa-2512]

I see the 2022 model 1250 has a self leveling headlight

No manual adjust on the LH side, and the tell tale up down scan on start up.

Clearly its got to be linked to the angle adjustors for the suspension,

Wonder if this could be retrofitted to any models with ESA

Probably need a new harness or coding session

looks good though

Are you saying the auto levelling headlight has NO up`n`down on start up?

My Oct `21 does the up`n`down thing, i assumed it`s auto levelling, it`s the LED adaptive effort.

My 2020 GS does't have this, but as it has ESA with automatic suspension why would it need it, or am I missing something?

The benefit is you dont have to play with the plastic beam height setting dohicky on the LHS of the light

The downside i guess is the increased cost

It was more as retro fit option that was all

Not quite that simple:

Nice idea, but why do we need yet another expensive gizmo. As K16 riders will attest, when these self levelling cornering lights go wrong, the mothership's solution comes at eyewatering cost.

Bikes & Cars are getting into the smart phone style renewal culture. Fills our heads with the dubious attraction of yet more tech.

Still, my current beef about vehicle lighting is cars with 20k lumen active headlights, that are unnecessarily bright, high kelvin & simply fail to dip promptly/adequately. The latest Nissan Qashqai seems about the worst culprit - get one of those behind you at night & see what I mean. When I mentioned the issue to an MB tech recently, he told me this issue can/should be corrected at pdi, but no one ever bothers until lighting is checked at first MOT time.
