XLT to Lariat Headlamp Upgrade

[slowstang]

So thanks to @slowstang and @User79 for the posts with the as-built info I was able to get my DRLs functioning just like a lariat. I think it should be added to the original post for anyone else so they don’t have to dig through pages of posts. If someone does the swap, and wants the lights to perform as a lariat you want to change the following as built info.

726-26-02 needs the * number to be a 0 for factory LED (it’s 1 for halogen and 2 for other) xxxx xxx* xxxx

726-45-01 * numbers changed to 7F to enable all DRL options xxxx **xx xxxx

726-50-01 change the only 4 numbers to 108E which chooses the dedicated DRL

so glad I did the changes. I like the look and function better than the low beams.

Try these instead of above. This has worked (so far) to make my lights work without all the BCM issues that this configuration has been causing. Try this out.

726-26-02 needs the * number to be a 1 for factory LED xxxx xxx* xxxx

726-45-01 * numbers changed to 1000 to enable DRL xxxx **** xxxx

726-50-01 change the only 4 numbers to 108E which chooses the dedicated DRL

I just switched to these settings and my drl is working with them but I did not have any BCM errors with the other settings.....I'll try this out for a few days & see how it goes. Thanks for the info!

Did anybody ever get the part numbers for the LED OEM headlights? I was able to score a single one eBay (passenger), now I'm waiting for a driver to pop up, would like to know what part number to target. Got one headlight for $400, hoping to find the driver for the same price somewhere...

I just bought a set on eBay tonight as well! Bought separately, but for a great price.

OH NO!

I purchased the Lariat housings thinking they were plug and play. I've never meddled with FORScan before. I really wanted the LED DRLs :/

On another note, @slowstang , what tires are you running? Good looking setup. My truck looks the same as yours, and I'd love to know what size/brand you have, as well as if you had to level or lift to fit.

Using the edits in Forscan I posted it's really easy to do and have had really good luck with no issues now.

Also, @Pluto thank you! I just switched to BFG All Terrains in 275/65R18 KO2. I have the 3" Readylift SST lift on it. I also just added some N-Fab steps.

That looks CLEAN!!! Nice setup. Also, what is the process for re-aiming the lariat headlights? Will be installing in the next few days and want to get it right. Any help would be appreciated from this n00b!

Found someone else's thread on how to re-aim them. They turned out GREAT! Can't wait to get my FORScan module so I can fix the DRL's!!

Hey sorry I hadn’t saw they last post. Came out nice. Such a big upgrade over the halogens.

Picked up a pair of Lariat LEDs on eBay last night for just over $800 total for the pair. They arrive on Monday. Hope to have them installed in about 10 days.

Wow $800 for the pair is a great deal! Any tips on searching/finding them? So far my searches have yielded very few pairs, and some with damaged tabs, etc...

Edit: I also found these while searching Ebay...does anybody have any experience with this brand/vendor?

I have a 2020 Ranger which technically says not compatible but from what I understand from reading through this thread here they're the same.

I have a Lariat, but always like the XLT grille. But I went for the Raptor style grille.

I didn’t buy mine in pairs. I bought them separately but from the same vendor. The right headlight cost me $386 and the left cost me $460. The vendor said the right headlight had a scratch with one of the mounting corner pieces damaged. I had no issue installing the right light and I can’t even notice the scratch. It’s so minimal. The left headlight also had a damaged mounting bracket but the lights are installed without issue. I’ve not had a single issue with the right or left headlight despite these “defects”. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good. I guess that’s the lesson here.

You can see the minor damage to the corners and I forgot to mention one of the lights had a missing cap, which I just took off the old headlights and put on the lariat.

Thanks for the clarification! I can see some pretty good deals out there right now for lights with chipped tabs, nice to know that these still fit OK. I'm sure there are clever solutions if needed as well.

What was the vendor you got yours from?

I got them from redemptionautoparts. The lights came packaged well and arrived a day earlier than indicated.
