Factory LED headlights

Are these things just bling or do they actually illuminate the road better? The regular headlights on my 2017 are ok but I've certainly had better. I'm looking at going to a 22 and wondering if this option is worth it.

Absolutely worth it IMO but it does require certain trim levels and options. Are you seeing a bunch of 2022's to choose from?

There's a fair supply to choose from up here in Alberta. I want a 8ft box and SRW so it limits it some. A few have the LED lights.

I'd say they are worth it. I think Ford is dropping the ball by making you go Lariat with the premium pack just for the privilege of paying extra for the LEDs....I'm happy with my XLT w. Premium pack in every way except the headlights. It's 2023 and its time for those ligjts to be standard IMO. Going with the morimoto hybrids now 'cause the factory LEDs aren't "plug and play"

Up there Ford allows the LED's on Lariat without the Ultimate package, so even easier to justify the prrice of the LeD option. Down here it requires the $3k Ultimate pkg on a Lariat to get them.

The oem LED headlights on my 21 are many levels beyond the halogens on these trucks.

They light up the road well. I’m sure some headlight gurus could find things to complain about but they light up a night road perfectly.

My comparison is against my halogen 2017 ram and a 21 f250 work truck with the halogens. Big difference between my current LED truck.

I had them on my ‘19 and have them again on my ‘22. Just got back from the ranch tonight and I absolutely love them. I really liked the ones in my ‘19, but I do feel these in my current ‘22 are even better.

Are these serviceable? Say you loose a bulb do you need to replace the whole housing for several grand?
Replace a $150 board?

No, not serviceable and over $1k each for OEM replacements.

Over $2000 just for some headlights and you still need a harness. I dont see how that is worth it.

I don't think the OP is looking to retrofit the lights, he is looking to buy a 2022 with the LED option, if it's worth it. I don't know what the option price is in Canada, it's about $1100 here and that includes the LED taillights.

I vote yes. Especially if you don’t have to get the lariat ultimate to get them. The only reason I got the ultimate package was for the leds. They are great at night compared to halogen.

I really like the LED lights that I had on my 2017 and my current 2020. Lots better than the Halogens.
I dislike that they don't put off much heat and snow sticks to them

I'm in the camp of spending more money to get LEDs on whatever truck you want to buy. I got my budget, you got yours. Good luck.
