I am wondering if anyone has removed the led lights or changed the front end to look like an ICE F150, or anything better? I know some of you like the LED lights. I never liked the fact Ford made them look like they were for a toy, while making the ICE F150 look cool. Its like they were not committed to EV's or something. Post any pictures of some cool mods that remove the LED lights please?

I think they do look cool.

I wouldn't change them out. They are matrix, curve adaptive headlights. The matrix function is awesome, and so is the curve adaptive part. Sharp cut off, while it may seem like a good idea the headlights in the truck are just so great. It's not worth downgrading for looks.

I was wondering if the bolts are easily accessible for the headlights.. someone side swiped me and I needed a new headlight and the bodyshop did a terrible job in height alignment with the light bar. I have tried adjusting the knob that controls how far down the hood closes but it still isn't perfect.

Not talking about the headlights, just the plastic looking light bars. I know its a preference thing. I don't like the look and makes me feel that Ford did it on purpose. Just like making the Mustang a station wagon. They are amazing vehicles, I just think the Ford engineers deep down wanted to try and make a joke out of the vehicles. With what people said above about the LED light bar, Ford failed to make them a joke, outside of my own opinion. Which may be one of the many bad reasons why they canceled the Lightning. They never took EV's seriously and accidently made the best F150 they ever made.

I understand now. I don’t think it’s possible. I’d have to do some research.

O.K. I understand better now.

Why not just disconnect the white wrap bars? I'm sure they each have a plug somewhere behind them. After all, a Pro trim only has the side edge ones, not the top one.

Or, alternately, You could vinyl wrap them or stain them in black or whatever translucent color You'd like? I seem to remember that someone last year here did stain them with black dye or something similar, which made them look dark-smokey.

They’re powered by the same connector for the headlight since it’s all one unit. It would be easiest to vinyl wrap them

I am assuming nobody has been able to replace the entire front grill and lights with something else. Was worth asking to see if anyone has done it. I saw a wrap and it looks good on a black Lightning, one of the reasons I started this thread.

Seen a couple wraps, swear I've see one unplug on the forums a couple months back. One thing I haven't heard about is Forscan, I know you can change the brightness, but can it be turned off there?
