Is it possible to tell if a 405 has the above Without looking at the build sheet? Is there anything on the dash or do the lights have a tell tale design etc? |

AFAIK when you start the car the lights should test swivel. |

Strange all four of my L405 have had adaptive xenon and have not danced. My L322 went cross eyed though. 2019 D5 HSE Lux SDV6 Indus

It's the light on the dash that I'm wondering about? What does it look like Stan?

Thanks Stan, but I don't know the vin number, this is fo a potential car that I want to buy. Its amazing how many people (even dealers) do not know if they have adaptive lighting and most say yes, I have driven a few miles to Bristol only to be disappointed recently. |

As per Nick, my adaptives on the L322 went through a sequence before setting their level, the ones on my L405 just seem to come on, move up maybe an inch or 2 and that's it. Aren't there different types of AFS available on the L405? Steve

seem to remember that someone said that to get the dance the light switch should be in the auto position...worth a try? ... - .- -.
