Problems with 2018 Ford Expedition EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Poor illumination from headlights. visibility at night with either high or low beams is unacceptable. not easy to avoid obstacles like deer crossing the highway, debris or other hazards.

I have a wonderful 2018 ford expedition. i love everything about the car, and expected i would, because i did research before leasing it. the one thing i didn't do, which i've never had to do in all my years of car buying or leasing, is test drive the car at nighttime. the standard halogen headlamps are awful, and dangerous. i cannot see anything. my girlfriend also can't see anything while driving the car. i have taken the car to the dealer who assured me that everything is functioning as it should. but i swear i have never driven a car with headlamps this dim or poorly designed. especially for a car so large, the projector lamp cutoff is too sharp and too low. of course, using the high beams does bring the lightning to normal, but i am blinding other drivers. this needs to be addressed by ford asap. if you monitor what's other expedition drivers are saying in online forums, i guarantee you will find the same result. there hasn't been an accident or incident yet, but it seems like it's only a matter of time. i am afraid to drive this car at night, or even to be around other people driving the same car with standard halogen headlamps. it's not safe for this car to be on the road with its current equipment setup.

Headlight power on the vehicle is inadequate, does not provide enough forward visibility. noticed after purchase of vehicle in dec. 2018

The halogen headlights in my 2018 ford expedition limited are too dim and unsafe for roads that are not lit or for driving in the rain on any road. i cannot see the road well and i feel that the halogen bulbs are not a good enough option in a 60k+ vehicle. i am extremely disappointed in ford motor company for cutting corners and not making the led headlight housing standard for all of their vehicles. the ford oem halogen bulbs are extremely dim and unsafe for consumer use. if there was something in the road, i don't think my headlights would give me enough notice to avoid an obstruction. very unsafe.

The halogen headlamps on the 2018 expedition are completely inadequate for a 2018 vehicle. they are dim, and they are angled down with a low cutoff. i brought my vehicle to the dealer and they adjusted the lights as high as possible, which did not address this issue. ford offers an optional led headlamp system which appears significantly brighter and safer, but at the time of purchase they didn't have these on the dealer lots. it's wildly irresponsible to sell a brand new vehicle for $65000 + that has headlights from the 1990s. they also claim that this system can not be retrofitted to the halogen headlamp models. driving at night on a road without street lights is unsafe. you can't see road signs, oncoming traffic, pedestrians on the road, etc. visibility is limited to a very short distance. there are multiple complaints on this nhtsa site about the inadequate lighting, what will it take to get ford to replace the halogen lights with the led lights?

The low beam headlights shine very low and not far enough ahead of the vehicle. they are also very dim.

The headlights on this vehicle are absolutely the worst of any car i've ever driven. did night driving yesterday; the peripheral lighting was virtually non-existent, and i couldn't even see my driveway from the road. there is no mention on the window sticker about what type of light fixtures the car has. i feel extremely unsafe when driving this vehicle at night, and will limit this exposure when i can. totally unsafe in the dark of night. the road to our place is unlighted and kinda country . . . couldn't see the driveway at 10mph with the turn signal flashing

Cpsc: the purported purpose of ford's 'projector' headlight design was to increase lumens while decreasing power consumption. instead of the headlight (as with 'normal' low-beam headlights) being aimed away from oncoming vehicles and displaying the entire road ahead, the headlight road visibility (as viewed by the driver through the windshield) has a distinct, horizontal line above which is absolutely dark and below is lit. *dt *js *tt
