Default Can you swap harnesses for LED headlights?

I’m wanting to swap a partial harness or complete harness to have LED headlights. I’m not using the morimoto, raptor retrofit... I’m trying to see if anyone has removed the halogen complete harness from their truck and replaced it with the LED harness... an it work correctly

The headlight portion of the harness is part of the entire engine bay harness. Changing out the harness is pretty involved and not really worth the effort. On the 15-17 trucks you only need to add 4 wires from the BCM to the headlights to have LED lights that work correctly. I did a write up on it here: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/halog...an-way-394074/
