Automatic high beams

[mohammad]

I do not have auto headlights only the auto high beams. Tested it last night on some back roads and it definitely helped me spot deer sooner. It turned off every time a car was in front or behind me and also a couple of times when driveway or street lights fooled it. Seems pretty useful for deer season in my area but i would rather have auto headlights for sure.

I literally linked the Mitsubishi site that says that you should have auto headlights on trims with automatic high beams. Maybe you should call a dealer or look into the owners manual or something?

Comparing trim levels across the border is a bit tricky.

2017-2020 was basically the ES, LE, SE, & GT for us. RF (offered one or two years) was an ES with a Rockford Fosgate stereo added I believe.

2021 was the ES, LE, Carbonite Edition, & SE.

2022 is the ES, LE, BE, & SE.

Some 2022 feature differences below -

All trim levels have the same standard safety features, except the SE also has LDW (lane departure warning).

All trim levels have the same convenience features, except the SE has the FAST-key entry system with push button start verses the remote keyless entry of the other trims.

As far as lights go (exterior features) -
Fog lights - BE & SE
Automatic headlights - BE & SE
LED headlights - SE
Automatic high beam - SE

Wheels
14" steel rims with wheel covers - ES
14" alloy rims - LE
15" black alloy rims - BE
15" alloy rims - SE

Mark, how does one enable automatic headlights?. I can’t imagine having auto Hugh beams without auto headlights

Someone else will have to answer that.

Our SE has automatic headlights along with automatic high beams. Auto high beams without auto headlights is not an option.

That's a Canadian article. BillAce and most others are in the US. We(in canada)were supposed to have had "automatic" drl/tail lights on new cars sold as of late this year but apparently, there are some workarounds.

As of September 2021, the Canadian Vehicle Lighting Regulation will require that all new vehicles sold in Canada have one of the following:

tail lights that come on automatically with daytime running lights
headlights, tail lights, and side marker lights that turn on automatically in the dark
a dashboard that stays dark to alert the driver to turn on the lights

I don't think you'd need to have auto headlights(that turn on automatically at dusk) to have auto-high beams. One senses darkness and the other senses vehicles approaching.

Here is the headlight switch on my Eclipse Cross that has both auto headlights and high beams. The Mirage doesn't have the auto headlight switch provision. I wonder if it can be retrofitted since it seems to be a mandated option in canada?

Since a 2021-22 Mirage SE (which is now the top trim level) has auto headlight/auto high beams, I would assume the newer SE trim level has a headlight switch like your Eclipse Cross.

My US model 2021 SE does not. The Mitsu website also said i would have leather seats and they arent available in the US either.
