I just found out that the headlights on my 2014 sweep up and down once at start up. Is this just a start up thing like the needle sweep or is it the adaptive headlights, which I'm pretty sure I don't have.....

Prestige have adaptive headlights, Prem+ do not. In fact, adaptive headlights are the only option you cannot get with a Prem+. Otherwise, you can order a Prem+ with the same options as a Prestige.

It's the self-leveling feature of HID lights. Adjusts positioning based on weight etc. Almost all manufacturers do it, but of course the sweep pattern can vary.

Got it. Thanks.

For the adaptive headlights to work lights must be in the "auto" mode. Very useful in the boondocks where there is a lack of street lighting and many wild animals roaming around. Like the Colorado mountains

Btw I did the numbers and it is less expensive to get a prestige than a Prem+ with all the options. Wanted adaptive lights so it was a no brainer.

At least for the current model year, Prem+ is over $2k cheaper than Prestige with the same options minus the adaptive lighting (which as someone mentioned you can't get with Prem+).

I also thought you could not get adaptive cruise control unless it was a prestige?
