P550e poor headlight performance?

Hi guys, just got my first Range Rover sport, p550e AB.

It has the digital LED headlights but on dipped beams, they seem extremely dim to the point where I have to double check if the lights are even on. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong?

Full beams are great.

Sounds strange. Can't say I've noticed mine to be bad and I came from a 2022 SQ7 with laserlights. 2024 RRS L461 P460e AB

No problem with mine - you can definitely tell they're on! Absolutely superb headlights and the auto dimming/blanking function is brilliant.

If you're getting poor performance, have you noticed the "animations" when you start and shutdown the car? It should be pretty obvious if it's the DRLs or the headlights on.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I notice the animation and also checked to make sure the lights are actually on. Think I need to test it again when it’s completely dark.

Done a bit more driving and i think the issue is that when lots of cars in front, it blocks out so much of the beam that I’m losing too much light. I’ve noticed when no cars it’s much better even on dipped beams.

Had a couple of other questions which I’ll put here instead of starting a new thread.

- I use comfort mode most of the time but have tried dynamic as well, can’t really tell much difference. If I put it on auto terrain response, will this work ok if I’m not driving off road?

- From what I’ve read it seems hybrid mode only works properly if you use the stock nav which I never do. My battery still depletes on hybrid so it must be working to an extent? Is it simply that it works even better if you set a route on the stock nav?

Hi,

Not meaning to be flippant, but have you checked the system is set up correctly in the vehicle settings?.

The Adaptive system depends on speed and the GPS location of the vehicle to adapt to the conditions.

Loads of info in the online manual/iguide.

Hi, yes checked everything. I’m pretty good with tech and settings etc. I have the adaptive on so it’s definitely blocking out parts depending on traffic. As I said I think it’s simply down to the fact that when there are lots of cars it ends up blocking out so much of the beam, that it makes it seem very dim compared to normal. I don’t seem to have any issues with brightness when I’m driving on quite roads with no traffic.
