Does anybody else with matrix lights get trucks flashing them when they are on the full beam automatic setting? It's as if I'm blinding them. Obviously nothing I can do as the lights are automatic!
+1 However I wonder if there are occassions where the led's are switching confuse oncoming drivers and make them think you've flashed them first..Never been flashed at once, except the first time I used them and they were in the wrong setting.

I can because I have had it many times in the years I have been driving from other drivers who don't dip there lights quick enough when I am coming towards them. In all the forums I have been a member of, including the mk5 mondeo, with these headlamps, this seems to be the only one complaining of this. I am sure over the years these lights have been in production they've been throroughly tested...
Well it is a problem if the other driver is being affected by the lights enough to flash you. I didn't go fir this option for this very reason.In my given example, its more the perception of the other drivers than an actual problem.
Which is the gist of what I am trying to say, if they weren't doing their job properly at all times, as they've been around since 2013, the internet would be alive. However it isn't, not even the Mk5 Mondeo forum over at Talk ford which I have been a member of since before the car was officially released in the UK. Of course in the USA these headlamps are banned at the moment, however the ban is expected to be lifted next year. This wasn't for the reasons that some are citing here but because in 1968 the U.S. instituted a regulation that required all vehicle headlights to be capable of switching fromThey do work well as I can seem them dimming you before the other vehicle approaches so I know there aren't being dazzled. I now think it's because the lights still illuminate full beam that the other drivers are expecting to be dazzled at any minute so therefore flash me..
