How can I tell if variable light distribution (VLD ) is working?

tboooe · 01-31-2015, 11:49 AM

So I successfully (I think) removed the 84S "option" and VO coded FEM_BODY module to enable VLD. How do I now verify that its working? I found a couple of vids on youtube where at start up the left headlight seems to angle away from the car during alignment but my car does not do this. Is there another way to verify that VLD is working?

There are a couple of ways to tell:

1. You will notice that the headlights move with the steering wheel a lot more than before.

2. When you come to a stop, the headlights will spread to illuminate the intersection, then as you accelerate, the headlights will angle back to being straight ahead.

I have this decoding removed and I'm seeing the movement that's new but mainly my left lamp. My right lamp doesn't do that much moving around at slower speeds. Does anyone know why?

The left beam moves more to the left to light the road because we drive on the right hand side.

It's opposite in the UK/HK/others that drive on the left side of the road.

LED or Xenon?

And how did you decode it?! I want this!

Removes 8S4 from your VO and then VO code FEM_BODY
