A.D.B.

A.D.B. headlights have been available in virtually every country except the United States, where separate high and low beams have been the required standard.

However, the A.D.B. system allowed by the federal agency will not be identical to those used in the rest of the world.

Nor do carmakers that have already included deactivated A.D.B. lights in their vehicles yet know how or if the lights will meet the new government standard.

“Now we’re evaluating the impact on our existing and future lighting systems. We look to make A.D.B. lighting available to our customers as soon as we can.”

The number of beam patterns offered by A.D.B. systems differs, based on each carmaker’s technology.
