I'm night blind and my 2025 BE headlights are fantastic. I'm not sure if I'm half retarded, but it almost seems like the Matrix is activated from the factory. My menu has "dynamic lights" able to be activated, and they work great.

Pros: headlights are fantastic

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

It does keep your high beams on but blocks out other cars, so it should not blind people. I have never been flashed with the matrix running, so I would check if your headlights are leveled properly.

Pros: blocks out other cars

For tesla folks - Older Teslas are just kinda like that with their headlights. I used to have a 2019 Model 3 and I got high-beam-notified _constantly_. They fixed it in 2021.

Pros: fixed in 2021

Cons: high-beam-notified constantly

Condensation:

Rating 3.5

My 2024 does this when the weather fluctuates, it clears up after a bit once the weather stabilizes or the mid morning sun hits it. I was also told it's normal to an extent, fog or light condensation will clear up. Was told to let them know if it looks like water is running down inside, streaking, doesn't clear up, puddles, or if the whole thing fogs up, then the overall seal has failed or is faulty.

Pros: condensation clears up

Cons: condensation occurs

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I find my 24 X headlights with and without Adaptive less effective than the ones in my 22 Y. X seems to leave a giant black spot about a car and half in front.

Cons: less effective, black spot

The halogen headlights are not good at all. The visibility on low beam is poor and I almost have to rely on high beam. I am planning to upgrade but would like to know what others recommend.

Cons: poor low beam visibility
