8C = 140 kph (87 MPH)

Not sure what the highwaymode is and how different it is from the HBA mode triggered by going above 43 MPH.

Here is the answer to what these values do.


Motorwaylight I

From a constant driving velocity of around 90 km/h, the motorway light can be activated. Levelling motors thereby lift the projection module (of the left headlamp in right hand drive) successively. With increasing speed the power of the Xenon lamp is raised to 37 W improving the illumination range from 130 m up to 160 m. When driving with high speed on motorways, this means a significant safety advantage.

This would make sense in having coded the headlights now with What they should be doing with HBA it is the increase of wattage in the xenon's that I've notice as well.
