Matrix Headlights Upgrade

The Matrix LED headlights with Signature DRL enable an Adaptive Driving Beam. By splitting the main beam into vertical strips, the adaptive beam maximises the number of high beam sections for ultimate visibility, while casting a shadow over oncoming traffic to help to prevent dazzling. The adaptive beam is also able to optimise the light distribution to suit the driving conditions of town, country, motorway or bad weather.

Perhaps the most visible of the forced downgrades caused by the global semiconductor shortage is the drop from LED Matrix headlights to the lower spec LED Premium lamps with signature DRLs. While the Premium lamps preserve the look of the Matrix units, you lose the advanced lighting technology which was marketed as a key feature of the high-tech new Defender.
