Front passenger drl fail in lower 2/3 of led strip. Im afraid other cars won't see me as well. No warnings on the inside dash display. A car flagged me down to tell me.
Passenger side daytime running lights (drl) have dimmed, diminishing daytime visibility . Led bulb may be out. Seems to be a common problem per other Expedition owners. There were no warnings or messages stating problem. The only way to fix the problem is by replacing the entire headlamp assembly ($1,200 plus labor).
Drl failure is widespread across Ford vehicles and should be addressed by the manufacturer.
Passenger side drl (daytime running light) has dimmed and turned purple. Upon further research, this is happening to thousands of Ford Expeditions specifically on the passenger side. The only repair is to replace entire housing.
Just purchased a certified used vehicle. 1) passenger dtrl is half way burnt out. Upon reading tons of forums online, I’m seeing this is a very common issue. 2) the back up guide lines on the back up camera does not show. After master reset of the sync system , the lines appeared once. Since then it has not shown ever again.
The passenger drl is only lit at at the top strip and not the rest of the strip.
The passenger side headlight assembly has a led daytime running light strip that has burnt out and is a common issue with this model car.
The passenger side day time running light led halo is partially not working-daytime running light defective. Several customers affected for the same reason all over internet.
Daylight light led lighting is halfway off.
Drl is only half on seems that this is a common problem and a safety problem for it is a lighting issue.
Drl not workingg.
Defective daytime running light, passenger side, that does not fully illuminate. I’ve noticed this on several of the same make, model, and body style (with the same dtrls).

I have a wonderful 2018 Ford Expedition. I love everything about the car, and expected I would, because I did research before leasing it. The one thing I didn't do, which I've never had to do in all my years of car buying or leasing, is test drive the car at nighttime. The standard halogen headlamps are awful, and dangerous. I cannot see anything. My girlfriend also can't see anything while driving the car. I have taken the car to the dealer who assured me that everything is functioning as it should. But I swear I have never driven a car with headlamps this dim or poorly designed. Especially for a car so large, the projector lamp cutoff is too sharp and too low. Of course, using the high beams does bring the lightning to normal, but I am blinding other drivers. This needs to be addressed by Ford ASAP. If you monitor what's other Expedition drivers are saying in online forums, I guarantee you will find the same result. There hasn't been an accident or incident yet, but it seems like it's only a matter of time. I am afraid to drive this car at night, or even to be around other people driving the same car with standard halogen headlamps. It's not safe for this car to be on the road with its current equipment setup.
