Enable factory‑specification Auto High Beam Assist (AHBA) on compatible Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. Our professional retrofit unlocks this built‑in driver‑aid feature with full OEM system integration for confident, low‑stress night‑time driving.
Product Technical Overview
Auto High Beam Assist (AHBA) is a genuine Jaguar Land Rover driver‑assistance function that manages main‑beam headlight output through the vehicle’s forward‑facing camera module mounted at the interior rear‑view mirror base. This system delivers hands‑free high‑beam control for road travel after dark, and it respects original JLR engineering logic without third‑party hardware modifications. Many JLR chassis carry the required camera and lighting hardware from factory; only secure diagnostic coding unlocks the feature for operational use.
The forward‑facing camera continuously processes visual data ahead of the vehicle. It identifies headlight signatures from oncoming traffic and taillight signatures from vehicles travelling ahead. When these light sources register, the lighting control module receives real‑time commands to dip high‑beam output smoothly to dipped beam. Once other vehicles move out of camera detection range, the system re‑engages main‑beam lighting automatically to restore maximum forward road illumination. AHBA also responds to ambient light levels, so it suppresses high‑beam operation within well‑lit town and city environments. The driver keeps full manual override via steering‑column lighting controls at all times.
Retrofit Service Scope
Our AHBA retrofit service uses JLR‑approved diagnostic tooling including Pathfinder and SDD software to apply valid engineering configuration changes over the vehicle OBD‑II port. Our technicians verify camera health, lighting module state and existing vehicle configuration before performing feature activation. We complete post‑coding system validation to confirm correct AHBA behaviour across detection, dipping and re‑activation cycles. The coding process is fully reversible and we preserve core factory vehicle programming. No physical wiring changes are needed for hardware‑pre‑equipped vehicles.
Compatible Vehicle Platforms
This retrofit supports multiple modern JLR platforms including Defender L663, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, E‑PACE, XE, XF and related model variants. Vehicle hardware pre‑check confirms whether your unit holds the mandatory forward‑facing camera and LED headlight hardware required for AHBA function. Contact our team for a pre‑sales hardware assessment if you hold uncertainty over your vehicle specification.
