I leave for work at 0500 so there's very few other cars out in the middle of nowhere where I live. However, my road down the mountain I refer to as The Gauntlet due to the out of control deer population. The LED headlights are fantastic by themselves. The glare-free lets them stay on and keep lighting up what's around me even when I have a rare oncoming vehicle in the morning. The 10 seconds high beams would normally be off is when 6 deer will just casually stroll out into the road.

I find it most noticeable on the highway. The left and right ditches light up well and you right side does it's game with signs. Corners on the highway are where it is the most fun as you watch the black box move around following the car in front of you.

This is one my favorites as well. Can have a road full of traffic in front of you and oncoming. And everything around out into the shoulder is still brightly lit.

You should also have the Green colored headlight indicator with a "A" in the middle on the lower left of your center screen. If you have the green indicator and toggle button, you likely did it correctly.

I triple checked and I missed a 3rd column number in the HCM module. Didn't realize there was 2 items. I did not have the icon in the dash so something had to be wrong.
I drove around my neighborhood at twilight and noticed much more light on the sides and ahead. Also more movement when turning.
I didn't notice notice any difference when a car came toward me but it wasn't totally dark. I will see on the way to work. Thanks for your help.

I am one of the few people who actually saw a benefit from swiveling headlights years ago and these matrix lights are fantastic evolution. Canadian trucks had them enabled from the start and I absolutely love them.

I wish all Canadian trucks had them. My 23 XLT does not.

I also wish the Mongoose cable wasn't so stupidly expensive.

Forscan does not require the Mongoose. This one works (and is recommended for Forscan)

Yeah you need to follow the guide on this forum precisely. I missed a step the first time and it didn't work.

Which step did you miss?

I went down the list and changed the modules. I think it works?

I don't know. I just followed the steps an numbers again and it worked. Not sure what you mean by you think it works. It either does its thing or it doesn't.

If you’re curious what the glare free headlight look like when they’re working:

I think mine are working since I seen them turning on and off on the side of the roads but I haven't seen any black boxes like in your video. But then again I haven't been on a 2 lane road without any Street lights yet. I see it light up Street signs, and light up dark spots on the sides. Also turn down the side when a car is coming toward me.

These 2 clips are the darkest road on my way to work. One with glare free and one without.

has anyone found a car shop that will turn on this feature for you? Not comfortable buying the equipment and doing this myself but would pay someone to do it for me.

I would do it for free if you lived near me, I'm sure there are others that will do the same. We should start a Forscan local editing help for free thread.

I doubt that you will find a Ford dealer willing to turn them on since the proposed US requirements are apparently far more strict than most other countries, including Canada. Would be nice if NHTSA did not have to reinvent the wheel.

I would be willing to help as well.
