2018 XLT - LED low beams switching off in park
Hi Everyone,
First time F150 owner and kicking myself for not getting one sooner! I currently have a 2018 302A/sport packaged XLT. I decided to swap in LED headlights to replace the regular halogen bulbs (yes I understand this is frowned upon, that's a discussion for another time) however I did purchase bulbs with the intention of avoiding throwing glare at oncoming drivers
. What i've encountered for the first time is the bulbs automatically turning off while putting the car into park, including the fog lights. Has anyone ran into a situation where they've replaced halogen bulbs with LED bulbs and had the truck shut the lights off when putting the vehicle into park? Is this a heating safety issue or simply a settings issue? Just want to make sure I'm not creating the potential for any wiring harnesses melting or anything like that.
Thanks in advance and really excited to be a part of this forum.

Thats completely normal. The daytime running lights are configured from ford to only work when the truck is in any other gear but park. as soon as you go back to park they turn off. your headlight switch has to be in auto mode for it to work. Also you can disable it in the cluster settings
Hope this helps
