Ahh Good Old South Australia where all good things are born including me... the place I learnt to drive for 26 years.. Is the Devils Elbow still there when you are coming into Adelaide ??? The old high beam flash not as common here in Netherlands where I live now but I do recall when driving back down under when I had an X3 which was around the same size as the EQA I got flashed all the time because the lights sat higher they were hitting people right in the eye-line. Now even though the light technology was different BiXenon v LED the EQA LED's even on low beam are bright. I haven't noticed my High Beam coming on here in Amsterdam when driving around the city but I have only had the car a few weeks and haven't really done a lot of night driving and wont now as we are rolling closer to summer the daylight is crazy long here so I wont get a real chance to see how much I will miss my old A200 Sedan's MultiBeam LED's until winter when its dark around 16:30 and you dont see the sun again until 09:00 I dont understand why Mercedes didn't put the Multibeam Option on the EQA as its available on the GLA I think its a real oppurtunity missed. It was very intelligent lighting and I think you would find in S.A a big reduction on being flashed as the MultiBeam LED cuts the light out around the oncoming car , pedestrian even street signs that have higher reflection. You really do get to see it at work during fogy days and looks impressive. Alas I will have to make do with what the EQA has but I do understand your point about being a responsible road user I wish more people acted that way today but sadly we are a rare breed
