Headlights are incredibly blinding, causing other drivers to struggle with driving. This has put both me and other drivers in danger.
The lights on this vehicle are blindingly bright. It's dangerous for other drivers.
Way too bright.
Driver side led drl light has failed. This is a common problem occuring with many people with 2021+ year models of the Ford F-150. Truck is barely outside of warranty and with 51,000 miles and should not have a failing led drl. Additionally, Ford has made this part unrepairable and according to the dealership closest to me will require a full headlight assembly replacement.

Bostonma2266united states1/1/2026"are led manufacturers trying to destroy my country, or pushing the slightly less nefarious agenda of stimulating auto-wreck insurance companies and lens crafters? it's unbelievable how so many people keep wanting to go back down an old, broken road. ".

Minneapolismn55428united states1/1/2026"digital light (led) and sound are unhealthy. I have been reffering to it as fake light and sound for years now. Get ahold of robert f kennedy and have him include this in his maha research".
Danvilleva24543-0062united states1/1/2026"these lights are extremely blinding and have been the specific cause of several near accidents by a friend when I was a passenger. They should be outlawed outright. Period. Jerk drivers nowadays don't bother to dim them either. They should also force manufacturers to put all of them at the same height from the road, most especially those huge pickups that jerks drive to make themselves proud and better than everyone else, that have billion candlepower headlights blasting in your rear view mirrors that blinds everything, the road, your dashboard, your windshield, the interior of your car, as well as in the front of your face. Respectfully submitted, except for the jerk idiots who don't dim their lights even when the low lights are too bright to start with.

The headlights are incredibly bright and I get many complaints about how bright they are.
Led headlights from multiple oncoming vehicles have shined very brightly in my eyes that I've almost gone off the road more than a couple times. They don't need to be so bright! and I don't think a lot of drivers who have them really care how it affects other drivers.
Headlights are too high, too bright, and 5000k+ color, which has been documented to upset circadian rhythms in most, and causes agitation, or even seizures, in a small percentage of the population.

Headlights are too bright and blinding making it difficult to drive safely especially at night. Not kind fo eyes like headlights in the past. Please get rid of these and return to previous ones that allowed for safe and healthy driving.
Kohlerwi53044united states[xxx]"something needs to be done about this issue. It has only been getting worse over the years. There are also people now replacing more of their old headlights with these leds with out purchasing and replacing the reflectors; without replacing those they actually turn out to be worse than the headlights on these new vehicles that are just as bad or worse. Need to get recalls out on these newer vehicles. Own a car that is almost not possible to drive at night due to this issue. Have almost been in an accident every week being on second shift due to this issue. It is now getting so bad with these newer vehicles to the point we are even having issues driving a fullsize truck at night which has never happened to us in our 15 years of driving. The brights are also an issue as well cause of people not being able to shut them off while driving past you or passing. Please do something about this already. It really is out of hand.

Lancasternh3584united states[xxx]"I keep saying why do people need to see up a raccoons a_ _ a mile away. They are blinding me. When someone goes by me at night with led lights I am blinded. It is not a good feeling when you are wondering if you are still in your lane because you can't see anything other than extremely bright lights. They need to be banned. I never had problems driving and still don't with regular lights they don't bother me but the leds are horrible. Please get rid of them.

Blinding led headlights from this vehicle around 5:45pm on way to grocery store. Height of headlamps above ground level, intensity of the weird light emitted caused my wife & I in our vehicle to be blinded to pedestrians in store parking lot. As a driver, after getting a full blast of this light I was seeing blanked out visual field. Sight started coming back, I continued process of parking, (after obstructing traffic from stopping until I could see) and scared a pedestrian I could not see even after the sensation of returned sight. Please do something about these unnecessarily bright lights. I must not be the only one.
Drl partially out on the truck seems to be an ongoing problem with these models that cause a safety issue similar to the flicker. My lights went into a hyper flash and when they stopped the drl went partially out.

Day running lights vertical ones seem to be going out on the f150 and recently mine too.
As I am driving at night, I am frequently blinded by excessively intense headlights, very often those on large pickup trucks like the f150. If I blink my high beams at them, the blink back with their even more intense high beams! it is obvious that the 1) the low beams are far too bright for oncoming drivers and 2) that the low beams are not aimed at the road, but at the windshields of oncoming cars. This temporarily blinding of oncoming drivers is very problematic, especially for drivers with cataracts that have not yet been treated. My wife has had to stop driving at night. The NHTSA should adopt maximum brightness standards and the police should enforce them with tickets and fines for those who violate these standards.
The driver-side rear tail lamp on my 2025 Ford F-150 lightning developed a crack and internal condensation/moisture without a known impact event. The condition was confirmed by a Ford dealer, which recommended replacement of the lh tail lamp assembly. Ford denied warranty coverage and classified the lamp as non-warrantable cracked housing / outside-force damage. My concern is that cracking and moisture intrusion in a rear lamp assembly may affect lamp integrity, visibility, and safe operation, especially if similar failures are occurring in other recent F-150 lightning vehicles. I had no crash, no fire, no injury, and no police report. The vehicle remained drivable, but the rear lamp assembly is available for inspection and the condition has been documented by the dealer and in photographs.
