DS7 new model - headlight glare?

Unread post by JayDS7uk »

Hi, just wondered if anyone else had a new model DS7, e.g. the facelift one since 2022 with the standard matrix lights.

Loving the car, but have noticed a few times I've been flashed by other drivers in the dark and am wondering if my (set to auto dipping) headlights might be bothering them!

Has anyone else experienced this? I wondered if I could reduce the height of the headlights but from what I can tell they are fixed so that's not an option,

Yes Jay, auto dimming lights are not well working. In Ireland, really I cannot use them on motorways - cannot recognize incoming traffic due to motorway dividing barrier at the height of headlights - DS sensors do not see incoming source of lights. Even if automatic headlights are off - still I get flashes, mostly from large trucks. Without barriers, like on Spanish motorways, as well its like hit or miss. On country roads - flashed from behind the curve, because incoming drivers see long beam on, and DS only dims lights once incoming car is already in front of me. Which is too late - he/she is already blinded. But, in DS7 Crossback, previous version which I owned too, I was getting flashed as well - and that one did not have matrix LEDs.
