    Oz Tiguans LED Headlights with "Dynamic Light Assist"?

    G'day guys

    Wondering if Australian Highline Tiguans with the LED Headlights come with Dynamic Light Assist (effectively auto dipping headlights)? It is specifically mentioned as such on the VW UK Tiguan R-Line spec's but not mentioned on VWA specs. Anyone with the Highline/R-line your clarification would be appreciated.

    Not on my MY17 162TSI.

    Maybe on MY18 models?

    High Beam Assist (HBA) auto dips the headlights

    Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) does not dip the headlights, it changes the light pattern to prevent oncoming drivers being blinded by the lights on your car. This is done (I believe) by moving shutters in the headlights but someone may correct me on that.

    Australian cars come with neither system activated and I think the jury is still out on whether DLA can be activated on Oz vehicles. We tried on mine and it would not accept the coding for some reason though I do have HBA activated but rarely use it.

    Ah, that’s very disappointing! I do lots of country driving on B roads and it’s such a handy feature. I note that the Golf R has DLA so maybe that’s a sign 😂

    HBA can actually be a PIA on B roads. I live in the bush and following a car at say 400 metres I have to manually dip to low beam because the HBA will not dip the lights hence why I don't use it much.

    Auto High Beam can be activated by codings.

    DLA no idea probably not.

    DLA is slowly staging the high beam for comfort, shading high beam for cars around yours and auto turning high beam on & off if shading is not effectual.
