If they say The ford performance led or led ford performance (can’t remember) then yes.
Further, with some forscan knowledge, you can enable matrix headlights

So I need to activate them through forscan even if I have them?? Wtf

For the matrix feature yes, it’s technically not up to the safety standards here so they turn them off by default.
As the system functions from the dealer, you have auto highs and lows, with active cornering lights and pivoting main beams

but you do not get the actual matrix aka anti dazzle/glare feature without forscan

Best to check the headlight housing for that specific badging but I believe I’ve read here that in MY25 or MY26 they stopped including the hardware support for the “matrix” capability in the US. My US market MY24 Lariat has it and it works with the Forscan changes documented.

They are also auto adjusting (as in put a load in the bed they self adjust)
That's one of the things the control arm sensor information is used for.

When I first got mine my wife was in front and I turned on the lights and she yelled Hey the lights moved! Too funny.

I've been trying to definitively figure this out. I enabled the matrix functionality on my 2026 and the infotainment screen shows it, but I haven't really been able to confirm with hardware or functionality

Can you snap a photo or write down the part number on your lights? Either one works. There are several numbers posted on the housing. My passenger side is listed as N1WB-13E016-FE .

From what I can find this should fit all 2024-2026 models, but unsure if that doesn't take into account any removal of anti-glare tech.

No “e” for my 2024.

Driver N1WB-13E017-F
Passenger N1WB-13E016-F

I *think* those last letters after the dash are the version. I've seen -FC, -FD, and -FE. And now -F

But I also can't confirm

Guess I really just need to drive my ass around at night and just pay attention

Also note that it will not do it if you are driving at night in bright conditions. If you live in the city with lots of streets lights, the function will not work. It is more obvious while driving on a rural road where it is dark.

Did u enable the lights on the screen or Forscan?

The auto headlamp indicator will be either white or green to indicate “glare free” headlamps enabled, I don’t remember which. Someone on here can hopefully remember. You have to cycle through the high beams after activation in the touchscreen. The 3 modes are high beams off, high beams on, and glare free
