Default Dynamic turning LEDs

I have a 2021 502a and am trying to understand if there is an easy way to tell if I have the dynamic turning LED headlights? I do not have the window sticker and in the Fordpass app and did not see anything listed.

Does anyone know if there is an easy visual way to tell and or if there is any information site that I can see whether my truck has them or not?

Thanks!

You have a 502a, so you have them. They are fairly easy to identify. The adaptive projectors have two lights:


The reflector LEDs in the 501a and below have the four beam setup.



Edit: Here is a more head-on shot of the 501a and below reflector LEDs, was surprisingly tough to find.

So can a 302a have those lights and dynamic turning LED headlights be enabled with forscan?

If you're asking can they be upgraded and enabled, yes. It takes a custom harness and different HCM, plus the lights. I think that totals around $2500. Without the HCM you don't get the bending or high beams.

I have the led headlights already, they came with the truck, I was wondering if the bending was just turned off.
Sorry for the confusion

another quick way to tell (at least on my 22 Platinum high ) is in the dark when you start the truck the headlights do a run through so you see them bend and level

There are two levels of LED headlights, you have the reflector LEDs, which come on 501a and below. The bending lights are projector LEDs and come on 502a and above. Having LED does not mean you have the capability for the beam adjustment, you need to actually have the projector LEDs. Not all LED housings are created equal.
