What are the two headlights?

I looked up the headlights for my truck (‘21 F250 w/ halogen lights) and it seems it is the dual hi/lo beam bulb. So what is the second light in the fixture? Which light is the headlight, the top one?

All four bulbs are H13, which contain both High and Low beams. All 4 lights are on at all times that the headlights are turned on.

Seriously, this truck has 4 headlights? Sounds like a Clark W. Griswold vehicle.

Six with the fogs on.... It is really kind of obnoxious and leads to a lot of flashing in my rural area. I normally do not run the fogs because with six bulbs burning it attracts a lot of attention from those thinking you have the high beams on. They REALLY don't like that return flash...

Yeah but they're halogen. So they suck in general. At least as supplied from the factory.

They work much better than the F150 halogen and last generation super duty.


They are adequate, leave little to be desired.

I sure as hell wouldn't spring for LEDs considering these are already too bright for my fellow rural residents.

just the opposite here
we have more cows than people and lots of dark county roads and hwys. my LEDS and fogs light up the bar ditches and way out in front to show me the cattle lounging after an escape from the barbed wire pasture.

not to mention the insane amount of hogs that lay in wait to jump out as you get close
i really like them compared to the HD bulbs i had in 16 exp and 13 f150

Or, as some I've seen lately, put an LED bar across the front and don't turn it off for oncoming motorists or the poor ******* in front of you on the road.

Yeah, that!!^^^ I’m a freight railroad conductor and ride trains for a living. The headlights, along with fog lights, and let’s throw in a light bar as well, and maybe some bright white led’s in the clearance lights on the roof of some of these pickups really are obnoxious, and a very real hazard to oncoming traffic. Some put out more light than four 74 volt sealed beams on a locomotive. Bring on the headlight snobs and popcorn!!!

This is the worst time of the year with shorter daylight hours. We get the pleasure of ignorance in the morning and evening.
