Euro headlights

[skwrtle]

Does anyone know if there's anything different outside of aesthetics between the USDM and EDM models? Really like the look but want to make sure the harness will be the same.

If there is a difference, you could go through Precision retrofits to get US headlamps that look like that, or at least I think you can

Are the European ones just all white lenses? I would rather figure out the wiring then have some headlights cut open and resealed.

Yes I go back and forth on that, I honestly have no idea what it takes to open and reseal a headlight, properly

I had some done a few years back and refused to install them. They were painted inside but were in worse shape than my brand new ones. So I ended up keeping my stocks. Ford eventually came out with the black oem lights and I swapped to those. Not to lead this to a headlight retrofit thread but that one experience lead me to just avoid any retrofit.

I’ve heard horror stories but assumed like most everything that’s not the norm… maybe it is? ?‍

yea @skwrtle maybe just try to figure out the wiring if it is different.

It looks like there is another light under the highbeam.

That’s probably the “city light” on the ECE models.

Isn’t that just the raptor logo? That’s not the same as the euro headlamp. On the non-raptor LED projectors that’s where the turn signal is

Exactly. Only the raptor has that blanked out. The turn signal is the outer led bar “DRL” on the raptor. So I guess they just blanked the bottom turn signal led.

Yes, it’s just the Raptor logo. My turn signal is same as the amber DRL. I didn’t realize the normal F150 had an extra light for turn signal.?

Their DRL is white. So the amber turn signal is down there.

Gotcha, that make sense. I had just thought they turn amber when turn signal is on, like switch backs.
