Headlight question

[FordTechOne]

When you say this do you only speak for Ford lights?
I have owned so many different brands (currently Porsche, Volvo and Tesla + Raptor) the only one that does this is the Raptor.
Anyway if everybody else is happy to drive an expensive truck with fogged up lights, I’ll be happy too.

It applies to all vehicles I have ever come across. Composite housings are vented to equalize pressure between the interior of the lamp assembly and the environment, once they warm up the condensation should dissipate.

@NJ2020 yes this is the largest vehicle I’ve ever owned by far.

@FordTechOne thanks for the thorough explanation.

I’ve owned 7 Porsches, all 2015 and newer, including my current 2021 Cayenne GTS. All of them had condensation in the headlights except my Cayenne. Perhaps it does and I’ve not noticed it. I’ve not seen it on any of my three Gen 2 Raptors but again probably just didn’t notice. I believe it’s mentioned in the Porsche manual as normal and as stated it does dry up quickly.

By now I’ve already said 4 times that I got it
But if we wanna revive this, how about the fact that the dealer said they would be replaced under warranty

Sorry for being repetitive, but as the voice of reason and ultimate authority around here, nothing is settled until I offer my 2 cents.

I can appreciate that

Is it just me or are these the brightest headlights ever? I love them for viability.
When driving in rural areas, I’m getting flashed by every incoming car. Are they just angled higher? (This is with the low beams and not the weird auto high beam.)

I did my first extended highway drive last night. The headlights are incredible. Very bright and gives you great visibility of the side of the highway. The issue is, I was getting flashed by every on coming vehicle. And I wasn’t using high beams. There is very little difference between high and low beam. Has anyone this issue? Has anyone had any success adjusting the lights?

Yeah the headlight issue is probably my only complaint with the truck. Not sure if we should classify it as an ‘issue’ but it definitely seems to be a problem for on-coming drivers. Hell even a big rig flashed me on the highway lol. Having said all that, the brightness is definitely awesome when you are in the backroads!

You could activate the Glare Free Lighting in forscan. I did on mine... incredible system and less flashing from oncoming vehicles.
I did it for a friends F150 Tremor. He was behind me last night while I was driving my car. No glare at all... was pretty cool.

Thanks. I believe I saw something about this in the settings menu. I’ll check it out later today.
