Headlights on other F-150 years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2023, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Headlight complaints fall into two camps. In one, a headlight goes out, often more than once, or fills with moisture behind the lens. In the other, the lights work exactly as built and the owner still can't see the road at night because the beam is too dim or too short. Owners in that second camp often report a dealer telling them it's normal.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the headlight assembly (28 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the exterior lighting covers the 2024 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
When it happens
Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
What owners wrote
“Headlights are too high, too bright, and 5000K+ color, which has been documented to upset circadian rhythms in most, and causes agitation, or even seizures, in a small percentage of the population”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 30 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
