The market for 23+ is going to be smaller. The LED reflector lamps in the STX and XT Premium packages are pretty darn good, I drove mine last night after taking delivery and it is going to be a steep hill to climb for aftermarket makers.
The only possible pool of buyers now are people who have either non-STX XL, or non-Premium XT buyers, everything else has either reflector or projector LED headlights. And those buyers are gonna be hard to convince to drop another 4 figures on a headlamp swap.
Sounds reasonable to me. After having 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2022 trucks with factory halogens I have no desire to switch from the LED reflectors my 2023 XLT Premium came with. I'm plenty happy with them.
Amber C rings would be cool but not 4 figure $$ cool. The white C rings along with the yellow Lamin-x on my fogs (which are also on with DRL) is fine for me.

Have been switching halogen bulbs in our XL work trucks every year (....plus aiming to ensure that is correct). For some reason, using the same high quality ($$) LED bulds in a 2024 XL, the high beams did not impress like past upgrades. I have a Ranger Raptor as a personal ride. Those matrix headlights are magincal and very bright. So with our work trucks would have the same bright lights for travels at night in rural areas with lots of eyes to avoid.
