This doesn't mean that they were any better than the Adaptive Xenons, just that the performance of the Adaptive LEDs improved with the 2017 model year.
Interesting, as I have a 2016. I wonder what the changes were? I guess I'm returning my 2016 soon so it's a moot point. I just didn't realize this.
