Adaptive Head Lights - Coming to the US???

What is a Supercab with a 6.5’ bed considered? Thanks!

Good question. Idk if it’s based off of bed length or wheelbase, my gut tells me it’s based on wheelbase. But people smarter than me should give you a more conclusive answer

Does anyone know where to ground the harness in the fuse box under the hood for the adaptive headlamp conversion? I opened the fuse box and there’s a bunch in there…

@JScaro not sure who else I could tag here

@dolsen
You shouldn’t have a ground wire, only power to connect. The rest run through the firewall.

Use Short bed. As correctly stated by @dolsen it’s based on overall wheel base. Supercab with the 6.5 is the same wheelbase as a super crew with the 5.5 (short bed).

Ryan got back to me and told me any of the 6 studs in the reverse L-shape would work fine. Even the ford wiring diagrams show a ground wire.

Different features. glare free is the adaptive LED head lights, basically dynamic high beams all the time that adjust to oncoming traffic. You're in Canada, those trucks have glare free lights. This thread is about enabling the lights on the US trucks. They had the hardware but DOT had not approved glare free at time of production so the feature was disabled on shipping trucks.

unreal is a different gui/graphics package for the sync interface.

thanks. I don't see any details on the unreal theme. Nothing online. Do you mind elaborating? Thanks!

The way I understand it (which could be wrong) is that Unreal is a graphics engine, which is actually used in ALOT of video games. It’s not a theme, but it does give better graphics on the touchscreen.

One way to change the theme would be to add the climate control bar to the bottom of the sync screen, but I don’t believe switching over to the unreal graphics changes the theme

thank you

**EDIT** @ROBB1 I was able to figure it out after I made my post. I needed to change 734-01-02 to x3xx xxxx xxxx.

This is my first post on this forum and I’d like to say thank you to @ROBB1 for all the time and patience he has to answer everyone’s post.

I have a 2022 Raptor and decided to enable the GF feature this afternoon. My headlights do the dance upon startup. My headlight indicator is green however, I get the “check headlight” fault in the instrument cluster. I have read through 80% of this thread to see if I could find the answer so I’m reaching out to @ROBB1 for assistance. Below is my HCM for your review and please inform me where i made a silly mistake.

Thank you for any insight you can provide.

I picked up my truck on Friday and went through a couple of things today and while I'm in Canada, I do not have the glare free option enabled on my vehicle, only auto high beam.

They stopped enabling it in Canada due what we believe was expected hardware shortages. That said everyone who has tried has been able to enable it.
