AI Summary:

Headlight Performance Insights

1. Light Coverage and Brightness
   • Wide and high beam spread; effectively illuminates road and surroundings.
   • Trees and roadside areas are well-lit.
   • No adaptive curve lighting or smart matrix features.
2. Driving Experience
   • On highways, the lights reflect strongly off signs—so bright that the driver had to occasionally turn them off to avoid being blinded.
   • Despite lacking advanced features, brightness and range are impressive.
3. Comparison to Other Vehicles
   • Much better than older Korean EVs like Kona, Niro, Soul, and even the original Ioniq ("candle lights").
   • Possibly better than the Ioniq 5 and EV6, though not confirmed.
   • Not as good as the ID.7's 800-lumen headlights, but still strong for the segment.
4. Lead Bar Alternatives
   • While good, headlights don’t match auxiliary light bars like the Laser Elite 18 (12,500 lumens).
   • In very dark or rural areas, LED bars still outperform standard headlights.
