Full Beam dark spots

Apologies if this has been posted before.

Does anyone else have these dark spots on each side when full beam is on?

I was going to say have you got a faulty LED but I can't see the same one going on both sides.

Definitely looks like there is a fault on both sides, never heard it mentioned before.

Hardly been doing any night driving during the summer, but I am pretty certain mine are not like that. Looks like a fault to me.

I have got exactly same on my Trophy long range. I am also interested to find out if it's by design or a fault.

Do our auto high beams have individual LEDs that turn off in relation to surrounding traffic. I know my Mazda does that where you see the full besm disable partially as a car approaches

No.

Thanks for the replies. I'll contact my lease company and see if I can get it booked in to be looked at.

I'll post any updates if I get anywhere...

I was driving in the dark last night with full beams on and certainly didn't notice any cut-outs like this. Don't think that's normal

Why would you contact the lease company?
You just phone the local dealer like anyone else.
Unnecessary step.

Can it be any dealer or has it got to be the supplying dealer. My salary sacrifice company

 

[mrmatt]

It may depend on your provider but for my old Cazoo Subscription and now my Octopus Salary Sacrifice all service bookings had to go via their driver line.

Although for a question on a warranty issue like that you may be able to go direct, but if the dealer tried to charge etc may not be able to recoup the charges if you don't go through their processes.

Because they've got a dedicated support team for things like this. I'd rather let them go and argue or go back and forth with MG.

I know this is an old thread, but did you get any progress on this? First time night driving for me and I have the same dark spots.

I was thinking about this thread when the dark nights began to set in, and I paid particular attention to my own lights, and they do not have this issue. Seems to suggest it is an actual fault, and not just the way the lights are.

Mine is the same too, I thought it was a fault but as its on both sides I'm not sure. I don't remember noticing this when I got the car in March. I know the SE has different lights, but can any other Trophy owners confirm if theirs is the same?

I had it on my RH lamp only. The dip beam was a bit too low (both sides), and the high beam too high. There is another thread somewhere where I posted which headlamp adjuster does what.

Yeah mines the same, it’s almost like a cut out. It’s on the extreme outside of each light so it doesn’t affect the vision. Just looks odd.

I found that older post

Thanks for the link, hopefully they just need adjusting then as I find the lights pretty disappointing compared to my previous car. But I have a feeling they're just relatively low power lights anyway, as they're not auto-levelling which I thought was a requirement for LEDs but I guess not!
