The DRL on my passenger headlight partially died (one of the vertical strips on the outside of the lamp stopped working) about a month ago. Took it to the dealer and they had a new headlight installed within the week under bumper to bumper.

Pros: headlight installed under warranty
Cons: DRL partially died
Vehicle: Ford

For what its worth, I had the Helix headlights on my 2017 GSW and yes, I had to set those up with HID ballasts and HID bulbs. I was able to tuck the ballast inside the back of the headlight and put the bulb access door/cover back on for a pretty clean install.

Pros: clean install

We had the same issue on my wifes 22 explorer limited.

Dealership had it for a full day and traced the issue to a bad ground causing a power draw in one of the headlights and it was replaced under warranty.

Pros: headlight replaced under warranty
Cons: bad ground, power draw

At a previous job I had a new company F150, and while the night view was great it seemed to piss everyone else off. Nothing I could do about it, they were set correctly. Stock height is just too high.

Pros: great night view
Cons: blinds other drivers
Vehicle: Ford

Rating 3.0

So, I opened my headlights on my 17. It is like others have said a painful process. Main reason is because the factory glue sealing the headlights is very difficult to melt, I had to bake my lights for quite a while to get it to loosen up. And even then the factory glue is basically impossible to get all the way off. Putting it back together isn\u2019t bad, I know some people have condensation issues but I\u2019ve never had any issues with that, plus from the factory there are already drain holes/air holes in the housing anyways.

Pros: drain holes from factory
Cons: painful process, difficult glue
Vehicle: Ford

I'm pretty sure the headlights on our RV are from an F-150. They are the worst e-bay specials and truly are terrible to drive at night.

Cons: terrible to drive at night
