Default Dynamic Bending Headlamps Missing?

I purchased a 2022 Lariat Lightning from the local Ford dealer and it has the 511A package. The window sticker clearly states "LED PROJECTOR W/DYNAMIC BENDING HEADLAMPS" as a listed option. I don't believe the truck has this option installed. The lights do not do the "dance" when first turned on, there is no option to enable "adaptive headlights" in the lighting menu, and the headlights definitely do not turn or bend at any speed while turning. I have had this option on previous vehicles, so I know what it looks like when operating and I like this option. I am not confusing this option with the recently approved "anti-glare" headlight option that some of our Canadian brothers have on their trucks.

Does anyone else have the same situation? What options to we have to get this resolved? I assume that we are entitled to the options listed on our original window sticker.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

I'm looking at my window sticker for my 2023 511A and it only says "LED Projector Headlamps".
This is the first I've heard of the dynamic bending lamps in a F-150. It be great to have since I do a lot night driving on back roads.

I had them on my 2021 Laramie Powerboost as standard equipment and they worked great! I hope your truck has them. I did read someplace that sometimes that the hardware is there but they have to be enabled with ForScan.

hAHA....WHAT?

Can you post your window sticker please? There's a discrepancy. I also checked the B&P on Ford's site just now and it does state that the 511A comes with dynamic bending projectors.

My window sticker for MY2023 Lariet 511A never mentioned anything about dynamic bending.

However, I picked up my truck from the dealer last week 4/26/23 and it did come with DBHL.

Great! Do they work? My dealer ordered a new headlight module. It took a month to come in. They installed it but it wouldn't "talk" to the truck. They ordered another one and will install it on Friday. I hope this one "talks"!!
