2015 headlights not bright enough at night!
#121
I know this is an old post from 2015. I am experiencing the same thing on my 2016 XLT with 203A package. Just heard on the news that MOST trucks tested POOR for headlight performance. F150 was ranked POOR.
Has anyone upgraded to the aftermarket LED headlights, and does it make a $500 difference?

I added the Putco Nite White halogen bulbs today, and at first was disappointed it was not a lot better. Then I thought, Hmmm, maybe I need to just lower them a little... Dang, I should have tried this first, maybe saved a couple bucks, and some time! :-)
I upgraded mine with Putco Silver Lux. They are extremely bright, and when properly aimed, they have the same beam pattern as the stock halogens. They DO NOT scatter the light.

Here is a short video on the adjustment. Skip to about 1:15 to get to the meat of it. Pick your year/model and you can see how easy it really is to adjust.

Edit 2: I had the stock hi beams in the fog lights for a week, no issues, and the lens definitely felt hot to the touch. Ordered Putco H10's and put them in, still feels hot to the touch, not much difference by the "hand thermometer". It is a brighter, whiter light however.
