Auto High Beam Assist (AHBA) Retrofit for Land Rover & Jaguar

Auto High Beam Assist removes a small but constant task from every night journey. The system watches the road ahead through your forward camera, detects traffic and controls your high beam accordingly. You gain maximum illumination on unlit roads, and you never dazzle another driver. LR-Retrofit activates this feature on compatible Jaguar and Land Rover models through factory-compliant software coding within your vehicle’s Central Configuration File (CCF). We use licensed JLR diagnostic tools and official calibration data. Your vehicle then manages beam selection automatically, which reduces workload and improves visibility after dark.

What Auto High Beam Assist Delivers

AHBA monitors the road ahead using the forward-facing camera mounted near the rear-view mirror. The system identifies the headlights of oncoming vehicles and the tail lights of vehicles travelling ahead. When the road ahead clears, AHBA raises your high beam automatically. When it detects another vehicle, it dips to low beam within a fraction of a second. This continuous cycle delivers the best available lighting in every situation, and it does so without any manual input from you.

The system also responds to street lighting and built-up areas. When it detects sufficient ambient light, it holds the low beam to avoid unnecessary glare. AHBA activates above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) and operates alongside your existing automatic headlamp function. A green indicator in the instrument cluster confirms when the system operates in high beam mode.

You keep full authority throughout. Push the indicator stalk and you override the system immediately. AHBA resumes automatic operation on the next ignition cycle, and you can also switch the feature on or off through the instrument panel menu. Your preference saves automatically.

Beam Behaviour by Condition

Driving Condition	System Response	Driver Action Required
Open road, no traffic	High beam active	None
Oncoming vehicle detected	Dips to low beam	None
Vehicle ahead detected	Dips to low beam	None
Street lighting present	Holds low beam	None
Manual override needed	Stalk input overrides system	Push indicator stalk

How the System Works

Your vehicle’s Image Processing Module (IPMA) processes camera data in real time. The module identifies light sources ahead and classifies each one as oncoming headlights, leading tail lights or ambient street lighting. It then sends a command over the vehicle’s CAN network to the Body Control Module (BCM) and the Headlamp Control Module.

These modules switch the headlamp shutter or beam pattern between high and low settings. On vehicles fitted with adaptive headlamps, the system also adjusts beam distribution to maintain maximum illumination without glare. This integration relies on your vehicle’s existing camera hardware and headlamp control system, so the activation introduces no new components.

JLR fits the necessary camera and headlamp hardware to most compatible vehicles at the factory, and the restriction sits within the CCF parameters. We modify the relevant settings and confirm correct module configuration, which unlocks the function without adding or replacing parts.

Hardware and Software Requirements

We verify each requirement during the pre-scan:

• Forward-facing camera — the IPMA must support light source detection at the correct software level.
• Automatic headlamp function — required as the base function that AHBA extends.
• Compatible headlamp units — must support high and low beam switching through module control.
• Body Control Module — must support the AHBA control parameters.
• Instrument cluster display — required for menu access and status indication.

Where your vehicle lacks a required component, LR-Retrofit supplies genuine JLR parts and completes the installation before coding.

Our team confirms your vehicle’s exact configuration before we begin. We check your VIN, IPMA part number, headlamp type and current CCF settings to build a tailored plan.

Activation Process

LR-Retrofit performs Auto High Beam Assist activation through professional software coding. This approach delivers several clear advantages:

• No hardware installation required — the system uses your vehicle’s existing camera and headlamp hardware.
• Factory-compliant coding — we modify your vehicle’s CCF using licensed JLR diagnostic tools and official OEM data.
• Complete in under one hour — the process is fast, efficient and fully reversible.
• Full verification — we scan for fault codes and confirm correct beam switching behaviour before handover.

We complete the activation at our workshop or through remote coding, depending on your location and vehicle setup.

Note: Auto High Beam Assist is a driver aid, not a substitute for careful driving. Drivers must remain attentive, monitor road conditions and dip the headlamps manually when required by law or prevailing conditions. System effectiveness depends on camera cleanliness, weather conditions and road layout.
