  1. TEASER - a Winter Lightning camping trip to Newfoundland Canada.

    Like the title says, a teaser so far.
  2. Front Fogs - Does Any Wiring Exist?

    ...and finagle non-standard lights as Ford didn't (yet) bother to make any.
  3. Front Fogs - Does Any Wiring Exist?

    I just spent some time in Europe this November, and in between other business I actually visited a Ford dealership which had an imported F150 on the lot. I am a big fan of rear fog lights ever since my 1991 BMW (US spec) for which this was an option. I added them later to my Ford Fusion /...
  4. Lightning Commuter rolls over 54,000 miles.

    Very nice! Agree on all the points we have in common. My truck is painted the same handsome Azure gray tricoat.
  5. Help identifying if these will work with Lightning - 18" take offs

    Consider going for the Nokian Hakkapelitas - I love them and I just drive through West Virgonia last night with temps of 1 degree F... super-solid in the cold and on ice.
  6. Glare Free Headlights - Use Case

    The green telltale on the IPC, when it is displayed, only shows that the IPC module code was chaged. For the glare free function to work ALL of the six modules involved have to have their appropriate code lines changed. These modules interact and the IPC module only controls the IPC display...
  7. Glare Free Headlights - Use Case

    Ah I now see New jersey in Your post. I still recommend adding something in Your avatar block.
  8. Glare Free Headlights - Use Case

    Sure and it would be helpful if You add Your general location in the avatar block for people in Your area to respond to Your post. I've helped several fellow Lightning drivers turn this on... when I and they knew we were relatively close to each other..
  9. Glare Free Headlights - Use Case

    Yes, with some patience and with a meticulous approach there's nothing really hard about it. And the gain is absolutely worth it, in many driving environments.
  10. Cowl area between hood and windshield

    Yep... very similar to my trusty SnoBrum https://zips.com/parts-detail/snobrum-with-telescopic-handle
  11. Anyone know why Ford used the tailgate lights for backup lights?

    I have found that the reverse lights in my 2023 XLT are so high up they do not effectively illuminate the ground while in reverse gear. I supplemented them a year+ago, to great effect, with the Diode Dynamics hitch brake+reverse LED light.
  12. If the Ramcharger were available when you bought your lightning...

    Our family went from the usual array of gas clunkers & beaters, and later new gasoline cars, to three sequential Priuses including one plug-in one, to two Ford Fusion Energies (both were actually almost great sedans) to now pure EVs: the Mach E and now the Lightning for me and a used Audi Etron...
  13. Strut/Shock - when do replace?

    So today I (finally) had access to a lift and assorted indoor workspace and tools, and finished the Eibach shock replacement therapy for my now-80k Lightning ER. I am very very happy after this mod, for two reasons: 1. The Buick-like driving behavior the truck had since it was new is now...
  14. Help identifying if these will work with Lightning - 18" take offs

    When I was recently looking for Ford bolt pattern steel wheels for my Winter tires, I found out to my chagrin that, although there were plenty of Ford six-bolt pattern steelies out there, there were NONE for the weight classification of the Lightning that I could find. So, I'd check for the...
  15. The Lightning is amazing in the snow

    My Nokian Hakkapolita Winter tires were surprisingly quiet yesterday evening while driving across the spine of West Virginia in the wide-area snowstorm there. I could tell that I was driving on Winter tires by their grippiness and their stability much more than by their noise on the road.
  16. UPDATES NOT COMPLETING DUE TO BATTERY LEVEL

    We're driving to Kentucky today, so we'll see on arrival...
  17. UPDATES NOT COMPLETING DUE TO BATTERY LEVEL

    Well, I do wish it would work on my truck. Tried about 20 times in the past 2 days, carefully... the dealership did finally reset the BMS for free for me (I have a good dealer).
  18. Fog lights

    Yeah, ...pfffft. They have PLENTEEE of big 18-wheeler rigs running around Europe... much larger than any F150 or SUV.
