The [ ] lights are on all the time, but are DRLs. When on high beam, low and high LED headlights are on together, on high beam, the driving lights which are LED shut off, but there is a way for Forscan to turn them on. You are only allowed 4 headlights on at once in Canada. But yes, in Forscan, you could leave driving lights on for high beam, and low beam and you would have 6 lights, plus the [ lights (though when headlights are on, they are on low power) and only fully lit up when in DRL mode. Best lighting I have ever had on an SD, except for my 500 watts of moose lights, which are not legal on public roads.

Bambi mode is fogs staying on while high beams and lows are on at the same time. Even the DRL as well, so it's all 4 on at the same time.

You need an OBD port cable to USB, with FORscan software running on your laptop. If you don't have this, your dealer can easily program your truck to do this.

To some maybe I guess, but the front-end design along with the LED lighting is 'one' of the things that drew me back to the Ford after many absent years.

Some like beer, some dislike... I love beer and I love these LED's!


<and> I knew posting a pic would silence the naysayers, seems to always be a closer, lol. "Seeing is believing, once again!"

Can someone tell me if the fogs are just lamps or of I have to buy the whole light? I already have the heads and tails waiting to be installed. Its going to look stupid with halogen fogs.

I'd buy aftermarket fog lights. No benefit to the factory led fogs compared to aftermarket like rigid or cheaper brands and probably better lighting and easier integration.

Not quite sure what the OP is getting at but from the drivers seat these are by far the best lights I have ever had on a truck.

We buy aftermarket "Clearwater" brand lights (very similar to the LED cube that Ford has as fogs) for our motorcycles (supplementary light). Be warned, good and bright in the LED industry equals BIG prices. The last set I bought were Clearwater Erica's at a nice hefty price tag of $2,000, They are bad to the bone, and probably better than the stock Fords fogs, but you will pay!. I guess the question is, how much does Ford add for these stock LED fog lights?

As far as the easier integration? (u lost me on this one)... how much easier it than the built-in and wired as stock, from the factory and delivered to you in your package deal at delivery time?
