Projection lights on a 2014 F150 - Issue
I do not like my lights. They are great on back roads with no oncoming vehicles but when I go to make a left or right-hand turn, they do not project light to the sides. Pulling into a street or driveway is hard because you cannot see either way as they project light only to the front. Kind of making a turn blind and I believe dangerous. Don't want to drive into the ditch by my driveway. Are they adjustable so I can have them light up to the sides a little? I thought about replacing them with reflector housings. Thanks.

Are these the OEM HID lights? If so,you have arguably some of the nicest headlights on a F150 and want to go to halogens that are like driving with 2 flashlights taped to your hood?

So I've been told. However..
If you go to make a left or right hand turn your light is all in front of you so you. You cannot see the driveway or road. Wondering if there is an adjustment to correct this.

if youre talking to me im suggesting replacing the factory fog light assemblies with led assemblies. They sell a kit so it has the housing to mount their light in the stock location and a plug and play harness adapter. Their fog lights throw a very wide pattern but the light is down low so dont know if that solves your issue. You cant do anything about a projector headlight housing, the projector itself determines the output pattern

I’m saying the entire projector within the housing can be swapped. Would require you or someone/shop opening the headlights-removing lense from housing. Reach out to lightwerkz very kind and nice.

OP post a picture of your current headlight assemblies for us. It sounds like you may have some low quality aftermarket lights with terrible optics. Factory projector headlights have a nice wide light output with a sharp light cutoff because they use high quality xenon projectors with good optics. I've seen trucks driving around with cheap eBay projector lights with 2 tiny pencil beam light projections like 3 feet in front of the truck due to cheap poor quality projectors and crappy optics. Quality xenon projectors have a nice wide beam pattern.
