I didn't, however, pay for the adaptive or high beam assist systems.
After well over 40 years of driving I pretty well know when to dip my headlights, and anyway if I did forget, an oncoming driver would soon 'remind' me.

I don't like to pay for things I don't use, or find useful.
It's not just on or off. When you drive on the highway, the right high beam is always turned on. And between cars on the left side the left high beam comes up and follows the oncoming car (until it is very close and the light cant turn left any more). Also, driving behind somone, it lets you use both high beams on either side of the car. With adaptive cruise control this is very helpful. Makes driving through 6 months of darkness much more pleasant.
