Programming a replacement Headlight module.

[Red501]

Hi all,
I bought a new OEM replacement headlight module for my 23 Lariot. Looks like the unit needs programed to the truck.
Is that possible with forscan or do I need to use a dealer / FDRS?
I found a couple sets of instructions for the ICE F150 online but the sections they wanted modifed look alot different than I have in my truck.

Thanks

To clarify did you buy a headlight or the headlight control module (HCM)?

Easiest method here is to pull configuration from existing headlight,, if that's not working, from the factory AB. Yes FORScan can do both, a little research or advice from here can help make it easy.

If you don't have your AB file get it immediately and keep it safe with you

The whole assembly.
Part NL3Z-13008-S.
Old one was partially working, lights moved left to right, but had way too much water in it and light bar was not working all the time.
On removal sounds like it had at least a pint of water in it.
I'd like to not have to take the bumper and frunk out again now that I have the replacement installed.

Just grab your AB from the Ford server, then use FORScan to dump it into the new module. You should be able to watch a few youtubes and figure it out. If not you can ask questions here.

So I just need the 2 day for service subscription to pull the AB?

I can pull the ab file with the VIN if you send it to me. If I remember correctly, you would need to run the LIN procedure with FORScan. There have not been many firmware updates released for the HCM, so chances are, it is programmed with the correct firmware already. If the firmware itself needs to be updated, you would need FDRS unless @Mike G can help get us the files so you can do it with FORScan.

@Jesse-Infotainment does this sound right?

the headlight modules have a strategy adn F10a file.

They have to be flashed.. The Lightbar trucks have dofferent F10A than the non light bar.

There is as build aslo.
