I had the same vision problem you describe. Cataract surgery cured it. I was amazed at the difference in night vision.

The Maverick LED headlamps are great in clear conditions, but they're not very good in the rain. The light spectrum they throw scatters easily, and it doesn't have any yellow light that does better in fog and rain.

2024 Lariat - the headlights seem very dim to me compared to previous vehicles I have had . I don’t see real well at night so that compounds the issue. Adequate light cornering at night is poor. Is it just me or do others notice this as well? If so, are there options/mods to increase brightness?
Mine are so bad that I cannot drive at night

Just asking no joking make sure the lights are in “auto“ or you turn them on manually it is possible the running lights are only on?

I feel the lights on my 2025 Lariat AWD Hybrid are extremely bright

Please adjust them, or have someone do it for you. Page 320 in the owner's manual.

You'll need a measuring tape and a Phillips screwdriver.

yes, they are definitely completely on. I have tried them auto and manual. It is literally like half the brightness of my Subaru. I have never had a car with such dim lights so there must be a problem with the adjustment or something. You cannot see around corners at all. And it’s not just me- my daughter has young eyes and she can’t see as well in the truck as she can in other cars. She feels safe to drive it at night though. I don’t feel safe even driving it in the dark.

Definitely a safety concern good luck and stay safe until they can be looked at

That makes no sense. With auto-highbeams and a wide, flat pattern, the Maverick headlights are better than anything that I've driven before short of illegal rallye lighting. Maybe the problem is not the lights, but your eyes have developed cataracts or worse.
Exactly. At first I though it was April 1st tomorrow...but no...only March 1st. :crackup::crackup::crackup:
