Ford Performance LED Headlights

[Bonder]

On my Lariat I noticed that on startup I can see the headlights sweep. From some research it looks like the Canadian vehicles do not have this feature enabled. I am guessing that the Performance LED Projectors have the ability to turn with the steering wheel, or am I way off here? I know they have the little aux light that comes on and is pointed to the side when using the turn signal or turning the wheel past a certain point.

Is this something that likely can be enabled via Forscan in the future?

US Raptor - Yes, the headlights shift with directional turns of the steering wheel. IDK if they are a matrix light or physically moving, but the light beam does follow where you're steering the vehicle.

The low beams physically move with the steering wheel. The cornering lights come on with a turn at 25mph or less. You can remote start your vehicle, while standing in front, and you can watch the headlights will move for a couple of seconds, apparently calibration

Yes Lariat lights do turn with steering wheel like the Raptor.

Do they do this when the truck is in park? I tested but didn't see them moving.

Or is this something disabled on the Canadian models.

Here's what they do on start up

I am reviving this thread hoping that I will get more feedback from Canadian owners. I have a Lariat and my headlights do NOT do this. I only have the cornering lights.



They do the auto calibration on startup.

I know mine move to calibrate them on start up but I have never seen them move that much when turning while driving. Next time I drive at night I will see if they move.

Just for reference, my new Lariat headlights aren't turning with the wheel, I think the adaptive function is turned off in the settings, here is what I found for anyone else that may help.

As far as I know for my 2024 Lariat they move when they are calibrating but not when you are moving. The Lariat and Raptor have a dedicated turn signal light that comes on. There is a video of it on here.

That's odd. I have a US 2025 Lariat and the headlights did turn with the steering wheel, and I used Forscan to enable the matrix function so the headlights can dim individual zones while keeping the brights on.

Do your headlights have the matrix function?

 

[Ron Quixote]

Meh. We had this feature on a Subaru and I always found it underwhelming. Maybe Ford's implementation is better.

This is how they work stock the headlights don't turn. It a dedicated turn light.

My Lariat headlamps definitely move as I make turns while driving. The cornering lamp only works at very low speed and, honestly, is pretty much useless. I have looked at the Forscan instructions for activating the matrix lamps, but I will be satisfied to let auto high beams do their job.

I understand there is a cornering LED, but the low beam definitely swivels with the steering wheel (not sure about high beam turning). Multiple members here including @gtyates have confirmed, and I'd be glad to upload a video, too.
