Full Beam When You Want It, Dipped Beam When You Need It

Auto High Beam Assist takes the routine work out of night driving. The forward-facing camera scans the road ahead and identifies oncoming headlamps, the tail lamps of vehicles in front, and the ambient light of built-up areas. The system then switches your headlamps to dipped beam automatically. Once the road clears, it returns to main beam. You drive with maximum illumination across open stretches and full courtesy in traffic, without touching the stalk.

Many JLR vehicles leave the factory with the complete hardware for this function already installed. The forward camera reads light sources. The Body Control Module and the headlamp control modules accept automatic commands. The instrument cluster displays the appropriate tell-tale. The function simply stays inactive in the Car Configuration File because the original build specification omitted the option. This activation service turns that dormant capability into a working system.

How the System Behaves on the Road

The camera monitors a wide field ahead and detects light sources at a considerable distance. When it recognises oncoming headlamps or the tail lamps of a vehicle you are following, it dips the beam within a fraction of a second. That response happens faster than most drivers can react, which improves courtesy to other road users while reducing your own workload.

Once the road ahead clears, the system returns to main beam, often before you would have noticed the opportunity. Around street lighting and in built-up areas, the camera keeps the beam dipped to avoid glare. Every transition happens smoothly and without drama, so the lighting stays consistent throughout your journey. You retain the ability to override the function at any moment using the headlamp stalk, and the system resumes its automatic behaviour once you release it.

Key Features

• Automatic main beam control switches between dipped and main beam without driver input.
• Oncoming vehicle detection dips the beam as soon as the camera recognises headlamps ahead.
• Preceding vehicle detection responds to tail lamps of vehicles you are following.
• Street lighting recognition keeps the beam dipped in built-up areas.
• Rapid response time dips the beam faster than manual operation in most situations.
• Automatic return to main beam restores full illumination once the road clears.
• Driver override on the stalk lets you take manual control instantly at any time.
• Instrument cluster tell-tale shows the system status clearly at all times.
• Touchscreen menu control provides full settings access through your infotainment display.
• Coordination with related systems shares camera data with Lane Keep Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition.
• Speed-dependent operation activates above a calibrated threshold where the function proves most useful.

Technical Specifications

We apply every activation to meet JLR factory standards for sensor accuracy and system compatibility. Our team prepares the configuration against your vehicle’s exact build record, so the result matches a factory-delivered specification.

What the Activation Service Includes

You receive a complete, traceable service with clear reporting at every stage. Every step follows a documented procedure matched to your vehicle record.

• VIN and build specification verification before any configuration change
• Hardware prerequisite inspection of the forward camera and headlamp modules
• Current CCF read and recorded baseline values
• Auto High Beam Assist activation applied through genuine JLR diagnostic equipment
• Camera alignment check using JLR-approved calibration equipment where required
• Road test confirming correct dip and return behaviour across varied conditions
• Written record of previous and new values for your vehicle history file
• Technical support access for follow-up questions after the service

Vehicle Compatibility

This activation service suits Land Rover and Jaguar models with a compatible forward-facing camera and automatic beam-capable headlamps already fitted. We verify your VIN before booking to confirm eligibility and hardware readiness.

• Range Rover L405 and L460
• Range Rover Sport L494 and L461
• Discovery 5 L462 and Discovery Sport L550
• Range Rover Velar L560 and Evoque L551
• New Defender L663
• Jaguar XE X760, XF X260, F-Pace X761, E-Pace X540, and I-Pace

Contact our technical team for specific model-year confirmation and to arrange a hardware prerequisite check. Vehicles without the required camera or automatic beam headlamps need additional components, and we quote those separately.

Process & System Integrity

Our authorised technicians follow a meticulous, vehicle-specific procedure. They confirm your build record and camera inventory, read the existing configuration, and align the forward camera using JLR-approved calibration equipment where required. They then activate Auto High Beam Assist through proprietary JLR-compatible software and complete a night road test. The test confirms dip response to oncoming and preceding vehicles, correct recognition of street lighting, and smooth return to main beam. This approach preserves the integrity of your vehicle’s original engineering while unlocking the capability you already own.

Every configuration change meets original equipment standards for data integrity and traceability. We test each activation against the relevant platform before completion, which guarantees a clean result and consistent operation across thousands of night journeys.
