Has anyone noticed these 2 shadows or something in their Maverick headlights? I just wonder what that is.

I kind of have the same.Has anyone noticed these 2 shadows or something in their Maverick headlights? I just wonder what that is.
Also check on the alignment angle.
These, like all headlamps, should be at a slight DOWN angle. Not level. And certainly not up.
On level ground...
Mark that bright top line with tape or something. Then back up 20 or 25 feet.
The bright line should be below your original mark as you back up.
The lamps are easy to adjust with a phillips head screwdriver and a single screw.
Mine came from the factory angled up into space.

Is yours also a '25 Lariat? Kind of surprised/disappointed the new projector units aren't auto-leveling.

I know, right?
Auto braking.
Auto steering.
Auto speed (adaptive cruise).
But no auto leveling headlamps!
In a TRUCK.
Whereas your headlamp aim changes kind of drastically when you put anything with mass in the bed, or attach any trailer.
Perhaps the biggest FAIL of this generation of trucks there is!

That, and no auto-dimming mirrors. Imagine having another Maverick hauling a heavy payload behind you at night.

Those are normal for any LED Projector, they are to help oncoming drivers from not getting blasted with all of the light.Has anyone noticed these 2 shadows or something in their Maverick headlights? I just wonder what that is.
Those two, small spots are somehow supposed to align with the oncoming driver's eyes?
I'm having a hard time buying that.Sponsored

Guys, it’s a freakin Mini truck,
A Truck not a Lamborghini!
Auto dimming mirrors, Pffft,
I flip the mirror to night,
As for the headlights, I think they are great, I remember sealed beams, about as bright as a good flashlight.
When did we become so spoiled?

According to googleThose two, small spots are somehow supposed to align with the oncoming driver's eyes?
I agree that's what cutoff is for, but the fact that these spots would never align with the oncoming driver's eyes doesn't support Google's theory.
They look like artifacts from emitter wires to me, but that's pure speculation.

Hey, They are lucky they were not driving in my area, back in the late 1980's.
One of the young kids, in our car club.. Installed..
"Air Craft LANDING Lights" as his HIGH BEAMS in his 1970 Cougar.. Yikes!
Imagine, coming upon him at night...(We quickly diswaded him, to get a better option)..

I noticed the same spots. Not a big deal but definitely thought it was weird.
