Fun with PDLS

I'm afraid I will soon hit a curb. Tonight, driving out of the neighborhood, I couldn't resist turning the wheel just to see the headlight pattern sweep to the side. Yes, completely immature, but I admit to a nearly unhealthy fascination. It's not even the first car I've had with turning headlights, but the combination of steering feel and lights makes me grin.

Anyone else willing to admit to this compulsion?

I do that all the time actually! I feel the system works better than any other car I've driven with adaptive lights.

Guilty! I've done this a few times, too. This actually *is* my first car with this feature, so I'm loving it. Wonder if someone has ever looked out his or her window at 3am and seen me zig-zagging back and forth down the street.

I'll confess to doing this as well. I find that the adaptive lights work better on the 991 than they worked on my E93 M3.

The best thing about PDLS for a Brit who drives in Europe is the switchable headlight dip. Finally the modern age!

also with PDLS when you get above 80 mph the light pattern changes to look farther out. I noticed it when I was driving back from Indiana last weekend.

I love the PDLS on the roads around here in Northern Virginia and certainly enjoy watching the lights swing to where I'll actually be going. That and seat cooling are a couple of my favorite options, and I never understand when people say that PDLS is pointless. Seeing a person crossing he road or a deer in a windy section is definitely not worthless to me - and hey, it's fun to watch the beams move too!
