Exterior Lighting Problems of Ford F-150 - part 2

The passenger side day time running light is dimmed drastically and almost not visible anymore on the upright section. After doing research , this seems to be a very common issue and not a cheap repair. Some states day time running lights are mandatory to work to pass inspection. Ford has not acknowledged this issue and/or making profit from changing out the whole headlight assembly to fix. It seems like it is a bad design or low quality product for a supposed safety issue.

Both quad led side strips (vertical daytime running lights) on my 2021 Ford f?150 have burnt out. The failure occurred gradually, with the left strip failing first around [insert approximate date] and the right strip failing shortly after. These led strips are a safety feature, and their failure reduces visibility while driving. I have attached a photo of the burnt drl, a photo of a working drl for reference, and a screenshot of my Ford live chat showing my ticket number and that I am tracking this issue publicly in a facebook group of other owners experiencing the same failure. This appears to be a recurring defect affecting multiple trucks in the 2021–2023 f?150 range. I am filing this complaint to document a safety defect that may require investigation.

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.
