I was about to post something - but remembered I said I'd step away from the conversation.

All I will say is that if the Skoda Xenon's adjust "on the fly" then hats off to them - as there isn't a single other make/manufacturer that has Xenon's that can do that!

I'm gonna have to try and record this me thinks, thinking the ramps at work with the arse end on them.

*UPDATE*

 

Ok so after some (PikeyTech) methods in the workshop I have the following findings to deliver.

 

Stoofa, brace yourself as this rarely happens on a forum, :think:  I was wrong and I appologise.

After raising the car slowly from the rear with the ramp, no light adjust ments seen, same again with just the front end, the lights react very quickly when raising and lowering using my tow bar (3-4 inch up and down) the lights adjust withing a second each way so this must be the adjustment that i'm seing when on the road, the only thing I can think is since my remap i'm obviously lifting the front more and dipping the back causing the adjustment.

 

Either way it's still bloody flickering and driving me bats! lol

Is it both or just one?

seams to be both but i notice the N/S more due to beam pattern.

Have you pulled the bulbs and checked the exterior rod to make sure they aren't cracked?

My xenons adjust while driving over bumps, easier to see when doing around 60 on some long smooth jumps and dips, is this what everyone else is saying it doesnt do?

I'm going to quickly apologise too because I think, no...I know I probably came over as a bit of a "know-it-all arse".

I too was so sure that there was some adjustment going on that I claimed this time and time again on another forum until somebody sent me some links (for the life of me now I cannot find) which showed how they worked.

So is that the reason I jump into this discussions and try to prove myself right? Quite possibly, and I must stop doing it.

 

Anyway - hope all flickers get sorted!

not yet, need to inspect them fully when i get a chance.

Following this discussion, and I know I am a year late, but my Yeti's xenon's flicker too. Would have accepted most of the above as an explanation except for one instance when both lights went out completely for almost a second while driving on a pitch black country road, that was quite scary. So can't put that down to level adjustments, anyone else had that? It's a 2014 model.

Mine has done this a few times but has been on both this (2011) and my previous Octavia (2012). As you say not quite a second, just off an on again.
