C63 AMG M40/A40 Last Night

[James Rothwell]

Anyone off here?

Your offside headlamp needs looking at, it's like the xenon unit isn't fixed it properly it wobbles slightly as you're driving as long.

Great sounding car though. Can't believe how fast it takes off even at speed! Need an AMG now.

mine seems to do that as well,strange.

I wonder if it had the swiviling lights. they move with the steering and also increase range with speed. could have been on the cusp of both!


or it was just a bit wibblywobbly.

Xenons have an extremely 'sharp' beam cut-off. Are you sure it wasn't simply the effect of road bumps flashing the beam momentarily into your eyes?

Possibly, but I don't think so. It was only on one headlamp.

could be Clarkson on the commute to/from his house/farm in the Cotswolds.

Clarksons is a CLK black though isn't it?

 

[James Rothwell]

It wasn't Clarkson it was a youngish guy maybe late 20s?

The lights on the C63 are adaptive and dynamic range adjustment which is a setting that works especially for motorway use - basically, above something like 60mph, the output of the bulb is increased and the 'height' of the nearside bulb is raised - all to give better view on fast straight'ish roads at night.

They are simply the best lights I have ever experienced but I do notice that other road users do not like them one bit - to others, it must appear that the lights are very bright when the dynamic range adjustment is working.
