First night drive tonight and this failed to work?
Was over 30mph and no street lighting or signage

Look in the menu to see if it's been switched off.

Silly question but are you sure the car has it fitted? It's an expensive extra for an ex-demo to have considering it doesn't have the more desirable privacy glass for 1/4 of the cost.

Not on my MY18, either. I prefer to do things myself - I don't even use the Auto headlight setting.

LED headlights are standard but pixel LEDs with the fancy beam masking are £1200 extra.

Watched video and confirmed on car that system is fitted. Obviously not checked at night yet.
Headlights with 'auto' in display changes when low beam selected then returns on high beam again
Also 'high beam assist' in menu

Perhaps if you believe they’re not standard you could check if 'auto' option is available in external lighting menu?

This is a 2021 model btw

It's the first box that I 'unticked' on our XFS menu - Bloody annoying, and being a Jaguar, will only dim for certain cars of a certain class, coming towards oneself ;-)

I might be wrong but I think I read somewhere that if the pixel lights are fitted, when you start up at night they do a 'knightrider' sweep of the light units. You should be able to request a full build spec list from the dealer if you give them the VIN.

Is your car a special edition? Might be standard then.
