GR86 Adaptive Headlights
Not having my car yet, I'm stuck searching the interwebs for answers.
I understand the adaptive headlights can turn left to right, but do they also follow the contours of the road up and down? Headlights always seem like an afterthought of the car buying process until you need to use them. |

Same system used on the rest of the Subaru line up so just left and right. You get a weird light show each time you start the car as they both track out and then back in to line up.

I had them on my 135i and turned the feature off because the headlight assemblies were $1900 PER SIDE, if they broke.

Yeah, this is a concern for me too, but <knocking on wood> I have yet to need any front-end repairs to any of my vehicles. On the 135i's I know the turn signal features are often turned off too |

The one on my wife's 18 Impreza was $2600. Luckily it was a warranty job.

I haven't owned a car with these before the GR.
I absolutely LOVE them. Ripping around freeway ramps they work extremely well, the response and accuracy is impressive and a lot of fun. On the old gen I would often turn my brights on while going around ramps hard, but these new lights work perfectly. I still would have bought the premium without this option as the 2 extra speakers/pilots+wheels/AMAZING seats/duckbill already sold me. So its like a bonus! |

Honestly, I could go without them and not notice much of a difference. It's a cool party trick but the few times I've driven at night I don't really even notice it.
And yes, I live down windy back roads etc. Not in the city.
