2025 Lariat headlamps
I've got a 2025 Lariat F250 with the LED quad beam headlamps. They suck, 2 distinct lines that leave a dark spot in-between. Anyone have any replacement suggestions? Yes, I did use the search function but didn't see any real answers.

Is your truck an Ultimate? The style that adjust with your load?

As an owner of a '25 Lariat, I don't have the issue you're having. Mine lights up everything in front of me just fine whether on brights or dims.

Mine are definitely not the load leveling. I have adjusted them up and down, I have 2 distinct horizontal beams with a dead/dark spot in between. I've been waiting on the aftermarkets but just getting impatient. My 2017 and 2019 were awesome. Seems like a something is wrong.

If it's just when you're pulled up close to something, yeah, there's going to be a dark space because it's a quad-beam setup and each side is 'stacked' on top of the other, and they're LED so they're a more focused beam, unlike halogens which would throw light EVERYWHERE. But that dark space shouldn't be noticeable when you're driving. Mine certainly isn't, and most of my driving is in the dark during the winter.

If you've got a dark line between them when driving down the road, yeah, you've got an issue and I'd have them look at it under warranty.

When driving down the road I have no issues with the beam of my STX which I believe uses the same lamps as Lariats.

Same here. My 2025 has no issues, no black spots. Just as good if not better than my 2018 had.

I didn't have any issues with my 2024 Lariat headlights. Probably some of the best I've ever had. Many people here and other forums have remarked how the LED reflector headlights do a better job than the current LED projector lights found in the Platinum and Limited (now Plus).
