I think the ability to turn adaptive headlights to non adaptive to be a great thing, you can turn them from "auto" to "on" without the lights going out if you want to turn the adaptive function on.

I personally dont like driving round towns with foglights turning on and off as you turn corners at 5mph. Its just too pretentious.
I use the adaptive drive when driving down country lanes at nightby turning to auto, but the rest of the time just keep them "on"
