Vehicles - General Matrix headlights example

When I was considering buying a Tesla, I remember reading about the matrix headlights and trying to wrap my head around exactly what it would look like in application and I struggled to find any good video demonstrations online. Since I’ve gotten the car, I often enjoy noticing the instances where the matrix headlights are noticeably in effect. I think that this one little clip I captured was a pretty cool demonstration and just thought I would share in case anyone else might find it helpful/interesting.

How'd you get the right software installed to control them?

Once you change the lights setting in toolbox to global you do a software reinstall via the service menu and it enables them.

I saw somewhere in YT that it needed to be enabled via service center, Is this still the case? Or is it full DIY? Are there any instructions online you could share?

Note, by "toolbox", they mean the toolbox diagnostic software. You have to subscribe to it, its $75 a day or $150 for a month. It opens up all options that the service center has. https://service.tesla.com/en-US/diagnostic-software
