Just had my first experience of night driving in this car. A few observations regarding lights:
  • "Sidelights" seem to be just rather dim versions of the Daytime Running Lights (halos and "eyebrows"). Is there any particular point of sidelights vs the DRLs?
  • The xenon headlamps are nicely bright but the aim of the dipped beam seems quite low. I think I read that the aim of dipped beam xenons is automatically set so perhaps my previous car's were set too high, but first impressions are that if I was driving on an unlit road and had to dip for oncoming traffic, I'd probably want to slow to not much more than 30mph. Is that normal? The cut-off with these is very sharp so maybe my previous car projected "stray" light ahead of the core beam.
  • Lovely illumination on main beam!
