Upgrade for side mirror spot light
Does anyone know of an upgrade for the side mirror spot lights? I have talked with F150LEDs and they do not have an upgrade. Any ideas?

Sub'd. I use mine frequently, but wish they were quite a bit brighter. The pattern on them is horrible, as well. They just scatter random light in all directions.

That would be nice ! Those mirror spotlights are a big disappointment. Only used them a few times because they are pretty much useless. If they were better & brighter I know they would be used more often. Way back in Jan 2017 when I first got my truck I posted a comment about how pitiful they were.

WTF are you guys using your mirror spots for anyway? Deer spot-lighting? I've got 'em on my '18 XL with tow mirrors and they light up the entire inside of my garage when I open the doors. The tailgate rear spot lights up an 8' area behind the truck, too. If they were any brighter, you could prolly weld with 'em!

I was actually quite pleased with my spotlights until I swapped my regular mirrors to tow mirrors. Tow mirrors are not nearly as bright as the standard mirrors and the LED's are not replaceable. They appear to be soldered to a circuit board.

Trying to figure it out!
Inside the garage they would light up everything, the walls reflect. But the spotlights don't come on when you open the doors, the puddle lights do.

I can’t see much use for the spotlights unless you disable the speed limiter. I tried using mine to find a house one night, but wasn’t willing to drive slow enough to keep them turned on. It’s silly, but I’m sure there would be a bunch of folks rolling down the highway with them on if Ford didn’t block it.

I want side lights to see deer or obstacles when turning. In particular there’s an s curve on the road I live on and I’ve encountered many deer that I couldn’t see until I straightened up and was a bit close for comfort.
