Worst Halogen Headlights Ever
#16
On a related note - the police here have 'upgraded' their lights recently to super bright LEDs, and I almost hit a cop in an intersection the other day as a result. Black uniforms, at night, surrounded by super bright flashing blue strobes - not a good combination.

I don't know why LED lights are not available when you get the plow prep option. The 502A package is the only package that includes the LEDs and that is absolutely not available as soon as you choose the plow prep option. I would think the LEDs would use less power, which would actually be more favorable with a plow. Then again the truck headlights are off and the plow headlights are on when the plow is connected anyway. I don't understand Ford's thinking on that. Furthermore, when you get plow prep, Amber strobe lights should also be offered. What a hassle putting strobes in.

Wow, your led headlight upgrade looks awesome! Did you buy them at Raptor Retofits too! Was it all plug n play doing the upgrade from halogen to led? Any problems?

I've noticed on my 2015 + Halogens, there is a marked distinction edge of the illumination pattern, especially at the top of the light pattern. It doesn't fade to dark - it's like there is a dark line at the top of the illuminated area. This is very apparent when approaching the bottom of a hill just before heading back uphill - you can't see anything on the uphill side without brights turned on. I wonder if this focus pattern might be part of what the original poster is seeing.......

I got them at raptor retrofit, not retrofit source. Yes I got the LEDs from him and it was all plug and play. There is a module that is needed. Plus he did a custom job and made white outlines that switch to Amber when turn signal is activated. Best money I ever spent.

I think with the LED lights on the 2015s and up the strobes no longer work, because the strobe needs to reflect off the reflective portions that the lamps use in the housing. Since LED is all light and there really no flat surface in the lens due to their design the strobes would ruin the look, and when in operation probably not cast much light, that's my two cents anyways.
Whenever I get my 2015 or 16 maybe there will be a way to insert the strobe tubes in there, and if so I am in!
Here was my 07 just after the install.
