Matrix Headlights Fully Enabled

[EdgarFriendly]

In the 80s I used to buy Cibie halogen headlights. They were plug and play. H4 bulb I think, but the lenses were absolutely tremendous. I loved those lights. They were infinitely better than OEM back then.

I had these as brights on my 79 caprice. Holy hell did they light up the road!

It used to be worse with different bumpers and even bodywork in some cases for North America and the Rest of the World.

With that said we don't want some of the EU regulations concerning emissions like OPF/GPF which make the cars sound terrible. We still have some safety items like airbags and seat belts that are North American specific.

The lighting however the US has always been behind on and the regulations do not produce better lighting for North America unfortunately. In the 80's and 90's, even into the early 2000's, North American Audi headlights were downright dangerous compared to the European headlights.

Look at the last version of the Countash. Those bumpers were appalling.

The NHTSA has already put forwards a set of guidelines already which are far more strict than the worldwide standard that governs the matrix functionality. Current matrix headlight technology physically cannot meet the proposed NHTSA regulations.

So, this 'activation' is essentally an illegal modification on a USA car.

yes, just like hondas changing bulbs to blue tint, trucks getting lifted suspension, installing decat exhaust, diesels cutting out dpf or in california putting any sticker or radar detector on front windshield lol

Radar detectors aren’t illegal.

I was coming back last night from skiing, rural roads, snow, ice, dark….the matrix plus laser was awesome!!! Kept saying to myself money well spent.

I believe radar detectors are illegal in Virginia and Canada. I could be incorrect, but to the best of my recollection.

I believe you’re correct, though some have contested citations and have come out on top when arguing that they only receive signal and not emit. On my comment I was referring to Commiefornia (surprisingly).

Received the VAS interface this afternoon and was able to schedule an appointment with Sam immediately. The matrix lights along with blue laser and maneuver lights were activated in less than 15 minutes. Took the RS6 for a test drive this evening and was simply amazed!!

Does anyone know if the 2022 etron also uses part number 4N0959673J for the multi switch?
