Headlights Bosch or OEM FORD
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
Neighbor texted me today that my passenger headlight is out… anyone have a headlight go out on their Mach E yet?

Had a 1975 Merc a few years ago and I swear the Bosch headlights were original

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
I think they're shit. The tabs started snapping off a light as it was sitting on my kitchen table.
Cons: tabs started snapping
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
Vehicle:
Ford
I have bosche oem lights and they have very poor performance at night.
Cons: poor night performance
My F150 headlight, the most popular vehicle in the USA, costs $1600
Cons: expensive headlight
