Matrix LED Light Issue

What do you mean fails to leave a straight line? You mean just after the calibration is finished, you expect a straight line without the stepped cutoffs?

I think that’s the idea yes, but happy to be corrected! What do other people’s do?

The steps of the cutoffs should turn off once you start moving (5-10mph or so). Look closely at your beams, for example at the rear of the car at a stop light or something, or a building on you get going. When you stop again, the top beam cutoffs will reappear again. However, there are times when I'm at a stop behind a car, I will notice that my left beam's cutoff doesn't appear again, but the right one does. My guess this is to not dazzle traffic in the opposite direction (LHD here) should the font camera sense headlights from other cars. But those cutoff beams are pretty active, of course, depending on speed and surrounding traffic.

Sanity check....you need to make sure your headlights are set to AUTO. This differs from the "+" in PDLS+, or "green 'A' headlight" icon on the dash where you activate it with the turn signal stalk. You can actually make your beams "manual" by pressing on the headlight icon. You will notice the "Auto" no longer be lit green. When in manual mode, the cutoff beams will never turn off--it's exactly like being equipped with the standard single LED headlight. But since your headlights went into calibration mode, you're definitely in Auto.

Hope this helps!

I think you’re describing matrix-enabled behavior; the Z-beam pattern when not moving, then switching to a straight beam. Prior to matrix being enabled, the Z-beam pattern was always pronounced on mine at all times. On J1.2 HD Matrix, the Z-beam likely shows more like the stepped ladder.

Yes, sir! Non neutered matrix lol.
