Matrix headlights

[vatsake]

Some drivers (probably BMW ownersjk) flash their headlights like our matrix headlights are blinding them.

When matrix headlights are ON, I can't flash them (to show them that THESE ARE MY HEADLIGHTS) - it will turn headlights off.
It just grinds my gears a bit

The Mach-E does not have LED matrix style headlights - at least in the US they don't. Maybe european models are different? They're just regular LED headlights with a high beam and a low beam - but with an automatic high beam option.

And if you have the auto high beam on, you can definitely still flash people without turning it off. You pull the stalk back to flash. The auto on/off is pushing the stalk forward.

OP is in Estonia, though if he imported a Mach E from the USA, which is quite common in many parts of Europe, you are correct that he does not have matrix headlights.

As a sidenote, I had a BMW rental on a recent trip to Spain and absolutely loved the matrix headlights.

I enjoy when people flash their brights at me. I turn my brights on manually and leave them on till they pass. Ask me for more tips on how to escalate traffic issues.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Yes, OP is in Estonia so seems they’re Euro spec.

I borrowed a GT loaner once with them in UK, those matrix lights are absolutely brilliant and DO NOT dazzle oncoming drivers.

The flashing oncoming driver must be a moron!

Probably saw the oncoming MME’s lights bright even though they were not blinding him, because they were not because they could not, so flashed our brother pony driver anyway

F him/her! Needs to pay more attention and stop all this pony worrying business

I also have matrix headlights, and they are fantastic. When I bought the car I had the same issue... I was blinding oncomming traffic. After looking in to this, I found, that here is a setting called "oncomming traffic side" or something like that. It was set to Right, which is wrong for right side driving countries. After changing to Left, I have not had anyone flashed highs at me. It is weird, that car I bought in Germany had this setting wrong - like for UK or Australia. I think this is stupid and even dengerous to have setting like that. There must be a way to switch this automatically based on gps data. There are not that many coutries where you drive on the left side.

It's quite annoying, some drivers flash multiple times.
Just wish I could let them know I'm not being a moron for "keeping my headlights on."

My CRT1 models headlights are weak is there a way to change to signature lights of the premium model?
