We just got a 2014 Freightliner at work and it has LEDs for headlights.

Has anyone found out how to do this with the F-150 ?

Edit: it's a 2013 Freightliner Cascadia with the Detroit Diesel BlueTec (DD13)

I'm not sure i just noticed that they have LEDs today.
I'll try to snap a pic of them when it gets a bit darker.

At least 2 acura models, an infiniti and a few other '14s have these too.

Our escalade had LED headlights. Output was the same as my HID projectors but they don't have a dedicated cutoff line and are notorious for blinding traffic. Plus, to replace those headlights would be..catastrophically expensive.

Curious to see the output on this truck.

They're very bright when up close.

Here are some pics of what I do at work.

I currently run multiple machines, crane operator,limited welding , move trailers in the yard. I'm trying to get them to let me paint. I'll do whatever job I can here as it gains me more experience.

UPRR Bridgespans we are currently working on.

Weight about 90,000 when finished. They'll be loaded on railcars and shipped to the site.
