Interesting video. The burn marks on the end of the tube does seem like it would make the light appear to be burned out.

Yep. And the original cost quoted was almost $500. They were charging for the key plus labor to program it. I had already looked at prices for keys and knew what they were quoting was way tooo high.

I'm not sure what they did with the keys. I don't have forscan yet to check in there. I got my original key and an extra (with no key blade either). They charged me about $250 (originally told me $500) for the key. Warranty covered everything else except the $100 deductible. Overall, not a...

Being that I only had 1 key, I wanted a second one. I just didnt want to be forced to buy it right now. I argued with the service guy about it. Told him he was full of shit that the BCM didnt have to be reprogrammed for a new headlight assembly. He told me not to trust the internet mechanics...

The dealer ended up getting it sorted. I had an extended warranty on the truck and took it in to see if the lights were covered. In the end, they were and whole new assemblies were put in.

Yea, what they told me didnt make sense. These are XLT trim lights, so not the higher trim ones.

So, I had the dreaded DRL half working issue. My truck was at the dealership for 3 weeks, utter fiasco. But my question is, if you have to replace your headlight assembly, do have to reprogram the body control module? Please tell me these trucks arent that complicated that you have to reprogram...

Painting the busted piece black is a good idea to get a feel for the look. I had the same concern about losing the face of the truck with it all black. Thanks for that link to your thread @jhelrey. Thats very helpful.

Thanks Big Dog. That does look like the color. I most likely will go back with just black I think. @jhelrey Is this the one that you replaced yours with?

Any idea what the color is? Its the only part on the truck that is that color. Im leaning towards just deleting the color and going with black.

I picked a new to me 2021 F150. It has a cracked trim piece in the middle of the front bumper. I tried asking the local Ford dealer for the correct part number but they werent much help, so I thought I would ask here. I found what I think is the part number, but there are 3 choices, primed...
