They're mandated in many areas, especially in costal states, as a civil defense matter. By nearly eliminating light from headlamps of moving vehicles, it will be much harder for Japanese and German pilots to figure out where to drop bombs!

:shock:
Ahhh! The good old days before GPS targeting day, night, rain, shine, correction for hurricane wind drones.

Does not seem like a good price to me but to each their own.

That is roughly half the price of an ESP warranty that would cover your headlights and basically every other component of the vehicle
Cheaper than the factory ones. Especially if you want to get the BAP look. Or you can take a chance pulling the factory ones apart to black them out. Then you void the warranty anyway and risk ruining them totally.

To reduce light output and make the headlights useless. Oh, and some people think it looks cool.
It does not reduce the light output because the reflectors are still the same. Just adds black to the housing parts that were chrome.

yeah I’d just leave them OEM and purchase an ESP.

LED doesn't automatically equal good. Lots of cheap junk LEDs and Ballasts out there.
You are correct but people have wanted other options. Factory ones are expensive. I bet Ford has some chinese company who makes the headlights for them. Just wanted to share options for people. That was the intentions of this post.

Didn't see them on Temu. Alibaba had them but you have to order 2 left ones and 4 right ones plus shipping for each item. Cheaper if you could buy just one of each. Over $1500 not including shipping. Would have 1 extra right side and 3 extra left ones. Only need 2 total.
Try Ali express, not alibaba.

Still does not give the BAP look that some people like. I bought my truck and like the XLT interior colors. Did not care fore the BAP interior but like the BAP headlights.

Like I said previously to each their own.

I would not spend $1k for a look, when it is an aftermarket light with zero support.

I would put that money towards an ESP so I’ve got peace of mind for the next 8 years.

i bought a spray can of VHT nightshades. I do have to do considerable prep-work to cover the entire car and prep the headlights, and the effects will eventually wear away, but less work than replacing the entire headlights with inferior quality ones and no longer having the factory assembly of all my bumper and grill pieces perfectly as intended
The spray will cut down the output of the lights some. Not sure if you have to sand the headlights before spraying. If so that would put micro scratches on the surface causing them to haze sooner.

Checked and they show a left side. It looks chrome version to me. It also does not have the led light on the top part. Priced about the same. Thanks for the info.
