Light Show

Do all CT4-V BW's come with the ability to have the lights do what's going on in this video?

That isn't something you'd see in real life. It is an artifact created because there is a difference between the camera sensor scanning the scene and the LED refreshing itself. Of the Blackwings, only the 5BW from model year 25 on have the "welcome" animation on the lights.

Well that’s not cool! I was hoping I was missing a setting.

Ngoni is 100% right on this. A friend of mine who does a ton of Jeep videos struggles with people having their lights on in videos because it creates a big distraction. He's trained me well to not have my lights on if he is filming me. Sometimes it makes cool artifacts like in that video, but most often it just creates flickering.

Same kind of thing you see in rear view camera mirrors. My old ATS would do the same thing viewed by my garage cam.

Anyone familiar with Jeeps know the reverse lights are worth a bag of dicks. I added some $25 amazon special LEDs mounted to the hitch and now everyone gets a sun tan. The camera has a continuous rolling line like what the TV would do to me as a kid when I'd hoped to sneak a peak on cinemax that we weren't subscribers of.

I think I first saw this effect back on Top Gear(uk version) with Clarkson May and Hammond. Refresh rate and frequency stuff.

Now here's my question, does anyone else here sometimes see LED bulb flickering with their bare eyes? Mainly the cheap aftermarket led headlight bulbs, not oem lighting. I notice it in my peripheral vision like in the rear view mirror and when I look directly at it, it stops. Just annoying but I always wondered if it was only me.

Glitch in the matrix. Nothing to worry about.

I think possible in that peripheral vision seems to be more sensitive to motion.

BW is my first car with the rear view camera which I think is absolutely fabulous when it comes to "new" tech. BUT the first time I noticed that effect on a car's headlights I thought I was being pulled by an unmarked.

Yes, I definitely see this depending on the light.
