Adaptive Head Lights - Coming to the US???

[Polo08816]

Your 21’ will be good to go if you have projectors.

There is about a 0% chance this ever gets pushed to older vehicles. It wasn’t approved in the US when we got our 21s, the US Regs only recently caught up to where the rest of the 1st world has been for awhile. I expect this will be a upsell feature in the near future

I think it will be a standard feature in some upper trims of the 2024 refresh.

This is a pure perfect example of Ford's inability to be flexible and lead as a manufacture. The feature has been approved over a year in the US, EVERYTHING they need to implement is in the trucks, all they have to do is flip the same switches in the software we have done with Forscan and they could already give the feature to their buyers. They don't however. Too old, sluggish and riddled with bureaucracy to make it happen.

European brands have had this for much longer than the F-150 and owners have to enable it on their own just like we do. I'm also pretty sure that no company offers it in the US, so it's not like anyone is playing catch-up or blazing a trail for everyone else.

Just came back from a long trip across many states. Drove from TN to SC yesterday and crossed through several tunnels in the NC during dark hours. I noticed that once I leave the tunnel (plenty of light in the tunnel; total dark outside of it), the Glare Free does not immediately work. It takes a few long seconds to "re-activate", looks like it looks for oncoming headlights to re-activate it. Total darkness itself immediately after leaving the tunnel was not enough.

I added the glare free and it works fine but my headlights no longer turn with the truck and when i first start the truck i get a warning to check headlight system. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

You have an error in one of the HCM values (734). Double check those or if you want to post a screenshot of what you have, I would be happy to look them over for you.

One sure way to see the difference is drive down the road following someone from a distance, or with someone coming torwards you and turn glare free off in the menu, you will see the light disapear on the sides of the road

My 22 Platinum PB Glare Free is working good after I made the changes in ForScan. I am not new to glare free as I had my 21 Audi RSQ8 programmed to enable it over a year ago. The Audi appears to be more pronounced when GF is active and a notification lights on the instrument display. I missed that notification on the F150 as the GF was not as pronounced as the Audi, but came up with another to tell if it is active. I have my foglights turned on, but have not programmed Bambi in FS. So now when GF becomes active my Foglight indicator goes out. The more I drive I am getting used to the GF on the Ford, but able to confirm that it is active by the lack of the foglight indicator.

Turn it off in menu while following someone and you will see the headlights stop shining up the road past the car you are following.

Great in-cabin picture!

It captures the essence of just how different this truck is from our dad's truck, if you know what I mean.

Hi all,

New to the F150 and came across this thread and was intrigued. I have a 22 Lariat PB with the 502a package. I enabled the forscan settings and it seems to be successful - no dash warnings or dtcs.

It's still daytime so I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but my question is this: Should there be additional config settings for the feature, or just a simple toggle?

IIRC, I saw some screenshots with settings for which side of the road traffic drives, but not sure if that's applicable for all models.

Thanks!

You‘re good to go with you have. The traffic side is a different and unrelated setting.

So I have have glare free enabled correctly I believe and it seems to function. I am not sure I have that toggle in my settings I will have to verify. Also I have adaptive headlights and I put a 2.5” spacer level on but they do not seem to bring the lights down and they are super high. When I turn lights on they go through their sequence but then raise way too high. Aren’t they supposed to level out or if you have a load adjust and keep them where they should be? Do I maybe have something messed up when I turned on glare free?
