Too many headlights
I live in Alberta Canada and I've been noticing that some of the new Super Duty trucks that I meet at night have all 4 headlights, plus fog lights, and the "C" daytime running lights lit up. These trucks have LED headlights and aren't hard on the eyes when meeting. Not sure what's up with this. I'm waiting for my F350 4x4, 6.7 crew cab long box Lariat ultimate package in white platinum to be delivered. It apparently went into production yesterday. Hopefully will get it in March.

I agree, but I know a lot of guys here like their lights!
To me, the new higher-trim SD's w/ a 8 LED headlights look like something a teenager would cobble together. Too many blue lights for my taste. But I respect the guys in other parts of the country who need all that light!

Yes, all 4 lights are LED. Lows, highs, fogs, DRLs
There a ton of pic and even better videos, google 2017 quad beam headlights

Yup, I love the LEDs. It was one of my deciding factors for sure. The Dodge headlights suck!
I live in a place with 6.5 hours of daylight in winter. My commute is 1/2 hours, while dodging deer and moose daily! Hoping they are good enough that I don't need to install another darn light bar.

These lights were on a low power mode. They weren't bright enough to see much I'm sure. I always thought that you can't have high beams and fog lights on together. I do like the led lights and ordered them on mine but wasn't aware of the low power or Bambi mode.

Huh? You agree that these LEDs aren't hard on the eyes of oncommers? Cuz that's what the OP was posting. And, I have no idea where teenagers cobbling up lights come from this, and then we get blue lights out of this also? Wow, u lost the F out of me on this post.

I knew I'd be in the minority in disliking all the LED's anyway. Everyone loves that stuff

Funny I also live in Alberta and I saw a new F350 during the daytime and all the lights were on in the front but like you said they were very dim. I do not have my new truck so I can not check it to find out if this is normal.

I'm glad someone understands what I was trying to say. I'm not good at getting my point across. It just looked strange to see so many lights on the front but not bright at all. I guess it's better to look cool than seeing what's in front of you. I was worried that they maybe had problems with the electrical on the trucks.

To the OP...you CAN'T have all 4 on...and the "fog" lights...which I assume you mean the ones down in the bumper. You can only run these in the low beam...unless the truck has been messed with. So that's 2 squares, both C's and the lower...but not 4 squares....

If it is the same truck that I saw it had all the lights on including the ones in the bumper.
