Well my Outer Banks had the signature LED Projectors :) So neener neener neener. Kidding, those sucked also :)
Lol, have Wildtrak, these were Dual reflector LED with an LED halo ring. Sucked..

@4x4TruckLEDs.com thanks again for being a solid guy and vendor have spent some money with you...on Form and DD!

Well that sucks, sorry to hear about the headlights. Last I checked, Form had what? A 2 year warranty? The main reason I went Morimoto was for the 5 year warranty. Sure their LED DRL's were all kinds of funky colors for 1st year or 2, but 4 new sets letter I may have finally found a winner. And I still got 2 years left on the warranty. Hopefully Form takes care of you and the busted headlight.
“4 new sets later“ WTF! All i want is a durable amber headlight set! I don’t need maximum output or the ability to switch colors! I know i can always jump on the manufacturer’s warranty train but that’s wasted time dealing with their QC issues! I guess i might as well skip Morimoto, AlphaRex and Form and just buy a new set of factory OEM BRaptor lights (since i never hear of QC issues with them).

Just a heads up I’ve seen a few posts here that after some recent update by Ford the Braptor lights will no longer work for non Braptors. Not sure if forscan can correct that.

In general it appears all these aftermarket headlights are subpar and to be avoided. Lots of posts here alone of all brands lacking long term quality.

They do. Ford even sells a braptor headlight kit for non-braptors now.

They're literally just LED reflector lights with an orange ring. They solve nothing but the aesthetic desire for an orange accent, the light output is the exact same as the signature headlights standard on the higher trims.

This is not a solution to the poor lighting from the factory, but instead another way for Ford to make money

That has nothing to do with the point I was making

To be honest, that argument could be made for most Bronco Accessories! I love the look of the BRaptor headlights and don’t need maximum illumination! But, i do need maximum reliability for something as essential as headlight! Beside, based on a smiles per miles metric, I don’t mind tossing Ford a few bucks now and again!

That's your call. I'll admit, the previous 3 sets did get annoying. Last set though, no issues with. And yes, now I'm happy with them, and thankful for a 5 year warranty to boot.

Do you have the most recent iteration of the headlights? I've heard they made some structural/electrical changes (all 4 projectors on all the time; no fuse tap)?

@KillerPenz is talking about the Moriomoto lights, not Form, who I think is the one that changed a bunch of stuff.

Yup, did a video on the replacements. they def changed up the new lights. Def brighter!

Good to know! Great vid. Nice that you were able pull off your little skirting below the grille without removing all your bumper mods!
Thanx!
My start up sequences and consistancy were all screwed up (which I could actually do without). Hopefully this fixes that as well.
I had replaced non-sig lamps. We'll see...

Yes thanks for the love, yes there's also a new pulse sequence that I think is different with the new ones, after it goes through the normal startup, the lights pulse in and out a couple of times.
