Default 2016 F-150 Visor

I have a 16 F-150 supercrew XLT 302a 5.0

And my concern/question is, why the hell is it that neither one of my visors driver or passenger have a light on them? I know most ppl don't need it but what the heck they say 302a is the highest trim on a XLT and to me so far this truck is disappointing.

Any ideas why they don't have lights?

The visor lights start becoming standard on the Lariats. My son has a loaded XLT, and his didn't come with lights in the visors either.Crap, my daughter's Matrix even had lights in the visors.

Just put on your makeup before you leave. It's dangerous to do it while you drive anyway.

Of all the complaints I've heard about the XLT's available features, this one takes the cake. No offense, but seriously??

FoMoCo doesn't want the hassle of civil suits for people applying makeup while driving.

I know that would be the first thing my wife would complain about, lucky for me I bought a Lariat.

I don't think it's a bad complaint. It probably should be standard on all XLT's. While I have never used the light, or even the mirror, my wife uses both all the time. If Ford was worried about lawsuits it'd be pretty easy to disable the light unless the truck is in Park.

I was surprised about this feature missing as well on my XLT. My wife and I carpool and usually puts the bondo on during the ride into work. Will have to get creative once the daylight is gone in the mornings.
