Aftermarket Headlights

[Jtitzer56]

I just saw there's some new aftermarket headlights listed on eBay, anyone try them yet? I've been holding out for the Form Lighting ones but they've been coming soon for almost a year now.

Wow aftermarket Chinese headlights! I'll bet they last at least a year or two before the start going dim or flickering!

These actually look decent, I'm starting to see more of the aftermarket Taillights becoming a thing now that look alright as well. Only time will tell if these last or not, and for anyone thinking these could be a bad buy, just think when the LEDs fail in the stock headlights you have to replace THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY!

These are probably the same way. Are there any true LED headlights with replaceable bulbs?

If they are not DOT approved I would not buy them. You could have insurance claim denied for an accident after dark with non-DOT approved headlights.

Listing claims they are DOT Certified. Maybe ask for proof of certification?

"Custom Headlights, DOT-Certified, Facelift Headlights, Factory Headlights, Halo Headlights, ISO-Certified, OE-Certified, Projector Housing, Reflector Housing, SAE-Certified, Sealed Assembly"

OE certified meaning Ford certified? Unlikely. DOT certified should be followed by the certification number.

That being said, they look great and I wouldn't let the fact they are from China stop you from buying them. More than likely all of the OE electronic core parts, circuit boards etc. are made in China and the modules are assembled elsewhere.

They look good for being aftermarket.

Hmmm

Looks like Lariat headlights right?

Foreign sellers NEVER copy/paste certification brandings... Just ask Underwriters Laboratories.

Nothing stopping them from actually meeting the standards but I have my doubts. Quality is the real issue but we won't know for some time as people buy/use them.

Hyperflashing headlights?

That'll be interesting to see if there is hyperflash or they burn up in less than a year. For $700 I'd hope they made the electronics robust.

Folk, keep in mind, that when you do anything electrical or electronic, it may compromise the computers. and cause problems. Reputable products will have built-in compensations for that. Beware the Chinese crap!

I think they look better than the headlights on my Lariat.

These headlights will make a huge aesthetic improvement on the XL and XLT models. The headlights on those models look atrociously cheap and generic.

Why didn't Ford make the Lariat headlights like these, with white / yellow switchbacks that serve as both DRLs and turn signals. F150s and GMCs have that and it looks great

Great point.

Can you just change the bulb with white / yellow switchbacks like that ?
