Icon Adaptive LED Headlights with Laserlight

Ok…. I am clearly not aware of what these things can do!!! Anti-dazzle? Adaptive? Laser…. my dealer told me to get them on my 2024 M4 Comp and I did, and although the look killer, what can they do vs. non laser? Sorry for the dumb question!

Honestly they are mostly just for looks unless you are in Europe. They are decoded/dummed down for US due to regulations.

I heard for 2024 they arent dumbed down…. Why is information on BMW’s so complicated? Everyone always has differing information on everything!

Sorry to burst your bubble but we don’t have laser lights in the US. You can code them in but it’s like 80% if what they get across the pond. You do get the full drl’s tho which is cool.

This has been discussed before but if you select this option here in the US, the only real benefit is that the DRLs look different. You're not getting any substantially better or different lighting performance.
