Adaptive Headlights
Anyone got these? Are they any good?
I have speced them in a pack on my new D5 Commercial.

Yes, and although not as obvious in working as with the Audi where the whole beam visually turns, in cornering or even dark sides I suddenly notice lights go on and make it a lot more visible. Thought in the beginning it were the fog lights doing the trick like you see with other cars when they turn, but even with the fog lights on these ‘extra lights’ appear. Absolutely a welcome kind of ‘nice to have’ and well done by JLR, I like it.

I have them, as Labbix says, they are not too obvious. I had the previous version of HID adaptives on D3 which 'steered' around bends and did a little 'dance' when first activated. But the D5 adaptive LED's are totally different, they change beam pattern dependent upon road type, i.e. long narrow on motorway, wider short on urban, I don't think they are as bright as the previous HID's but they are worth having.

I’d concur. You can see the differences they make, not mind-blowing but definitely worth having. I wouldn’t want to be without them.
I’m doing far more country road driving now, but my impression is that they are not as bright as the non-adaptive xenons on my previous car - a BMW 440i - which has slightly surprised me.

I have them as well. They operate very differently from the D3 & D4 variants, but I find them really good. The beam pattern changes dependent on vehicle speed, surroundings and direction of travel and I think they provide good illumination.
