We used to be able to check this for people with the VIN, but due to some recent changes within Ford's cybersecurity measures, we can no longer do so. The screenshot you posted was with him using FDRS while plugged into his own vehicle.
You're welcome, but check out this post that was posted after mine as I posted the F150 instructions and not the Lightning:

Something similar happened recently on the Mach E forum:

I was not able to help him get it resolved, but I did find a setting in the APIM that has something to do with this. In his case, it was already enabled...
If you update with FDRS, it is still possible that you can an OTA for a module you already updated. In that case, the OTA will fail because the software is already installed.
Glad you brought that up. I think it may be help to point the nose of the truck towards Dearborn, MI.
Updating with FDRS has zero negative effect on being able to get future OTA's.
We used to be able to help people do this easily, but thanks to Ford's awesome new cybersecurity system, all you can do is pray to the OTA gods and hope they shine their light upon thee.
Or beg the dealer to do it and hope they do.
Attached are the instructions from the workshop manual to fist remove the radiator grill and then the headlamp. I don't think swapping out the headlamp alone requires programming; only the modules, but not 100% sure.
Living in urban Miami, I rarely get to see glare-free in action, so if you do live and drive in an urban area with lots of street lighting, the same will apply to you.
Does glare free work on 2023 Lightnings? I know on the ICE trucks, it only works on 2021-2022 model years after a certain IPMA...
Hard to say without being able to plug into the truck and run pin-point tests. Some things are obvious and can be diagnosed remotely, but I don't feel comfortable saying for sure it the headlight based on those codes. Maybe @Jesse-Infotainment can chime in and give his opinion.
@KingConan Got your message, but responding here so the info is out there. Your truck is reporting these codes:
First code is citing an open circuit in the lighting driver control module and the other code cites a component internal failure in the HCM for the left headlamp. Both of these are...
My truck is an ICE truck; I was just using that as an example.
The 2024 ICE trucks and 24-25 Lightings are getting an even newer APIM update that brings it up to Sync 25211. No other trucks have gotten that update released to them yet. The highest any 21-23 truck can go to (for now) is Sync 25094.
Seems to be on a case-by-case basis. My truck is on 24127 with no updates showing pending, but other 2021's do have 25094 showing for them in FDRS and getting it via OTA.
