One of the first evenings (just past official sunset, so dark enough to need lights on but not high beams) driving I came up upon someone driving slower. The auto brights never shut off even as I was immediately behind them. I turned that feature off after that and haven’t looked back.

I think we are missing something here , I experienced the same thing and was considering turning mine off but I need to read a bit more on settings.

Mine never blinds anyone as far as I can tell. I never get flashed even to the sides.
What am I missing, settings .

Mine work as expected. No issues. This is my third vehicle with auto highbeams and the Bronco Sport works just as well as my previous Mazda 6 and Kia Stinger.

Overall they work pretty good. Don't kick it as early as I'd like at dusk/twilight but overall it's only occasionally I have to manually override them (because they stay on a hair too long). Certainly want high beams on as much as possible in my area due to wildlife!

I love the feature, I really do. They work perfectly and the response time from all directions is just as quick as my hand going to the stalk to manually turn them off, if not quicker sometimes. It's just one less thing to worry about so I can keep a closer eye out for animals.

I live in the mountains, lots of narrow roads with blind turns. My auto brights work perfectly. But I do spend a lot of time diverting my eyes away from other folks bright lights. If ya don't like your lights on auto, be old fashioned and put em on manual.

I love having auto highbeams( when they work correctly with no delay)
