Since the new gen Panamera now has matrix headlamps available in the US market, it's likely we'll see that option on the nex gen D5 A8. Below is a rundown on the Porsche matrix headlight function with a note about how it's programming is altered for the US....in essence the 84 individual light pixels are re-programmed to function as a single light source to perform all the intended functions. It seems the Porsche units may not be as advanced as the European Audi matrix units in that they appear to lack the hi-beam light displacement function for on-coming vehicles as well as not having the functionality link to the car's GPS system that anticipates optimal lighting of the route ahead. Perhaps any US Audi matrix units may also have a similar limited functionality that drops the hi-beam protection and GPS link. It's all guess work now...I guess.

As long as it's in the coding, it may be able to be turned back on. Here's hoping.

Wonder if they will put the US version laser headlights on the D5.
