Active headlights on US Ranger Raptor?

[j.hood839]

I ended up making the changes a few nights ago, and testing it finally tonight, I live in a busy area but have some areas that it is dark enough I am able to tell it is working, cool feature it will take some time to get adjusted to and I need a really dark road and the ability to test it for a longer period.

Onr thing I need to understand is the bright light icon, and the Auto icon, I read somewhere it should be green with an “a” but it was my normal “A” for auto headlamps and the bright blue icon.

Interesting read on Ars. Sounds like Audi is getting approval for the matrix headlights in the US.

Do you happen to know if the glare free/ matrix programing will work on a 2026 Ranger Raptor? I'm in the market for one a d my 2024 Volkswagen GTI has them programmed. It's a huge deal breaker for me to have matrix headlights living out in a more rural area. You won't notice them much in city/ bright areas. But it a game changer on rural/ country roads.

Finally enabled mine in Forscan before my Colorado trip and I'm impressed with them. Not a deal breaker to not have them but if you can enable them, why not?

I can confirm that the Glare-Free (Matrix) functionality works on a 2026 RR (once enabled in FORScan). Several weeks ago up in the mountains I was driving back over a windy pass in the dark and I could definitely see the segments going in and out with the car in front of me. Pretty cool

I do not know, what I have read is 2026 Raptors have the same Performance LED's that I have on my 25 Ranger Lariat.

I believe that is correct.
I do not believe actual matrix lighting can work on the Ranger, not enough LEDs. The best we get is auto aiming and auto high beams, which really work well.
