Disabling adaptive headlamps with Dynamic Bending Headlights (502A and Up)?

[Blackout]

For those of you who have a 502A or above which comes equipped with Dynamic Bending LED projector headlights, when you go to [Settings] -> [Vehicle] -> [Lighting]... do you see an option to disable adaptive headlamps?

The reason I ask is I was reading the manual and came across this section for guidance on how to turn it off...and this option to turn off does not exist in my menu.

I have the 701A in a 21 platinum and I’m missing this option as well. I have confirmed my lights do not move with the steering wheel either. It is my understanding the dynamic bending headlights are standard equipment for the platinum.

I have them but haven’t looked at the menu yet. Platinum trim.

I think it also factors in the speed of your turn. They don’t seem to move at low speeds in my neighborhood, but they do when I turn into my neighborhood from the highway.

Could you post a photo of your window sticker? I am looking to confirm if Ford lists the feature as just projector headlamps led or does it include the words dynamic bending or adaptive as well.
Here is mine.

I've got the 502A but haven't had a chance to test out anything yet, as the dealer still has my truck.

I have however had a chance to go over my paperwork and my window sticker doesn't mention Dynamic Bending Headlamps at all. In fact, it doesn't even mention LED headlamps. Just auto high beam and auto on/off.

The only place I have found that mentions I should have LED Projection and Dynamic Bending is in the sales blurb for the 502A build package.

Thanks. I’d be curious to see if you even have projector headlamps as advertised. I am contacting my dealer on Monday as this isn’t making sense. Is this standard equipment on these trim levels or not, and what happens if the feature isn’t preset?

Based on the look of the headlight assy, I did receive LED lamps of some sort but I don't know for certain that they are projector type. However they are certainly not halogen.

They must not put the “dynamic bending” part on the window stickers. Mine is the same as yours, however, when I get in and start my truck if you are close to a wall or something, you can see the headlights “cycle” up and down.

I have a 502a Lariat. It is not in my vehicle settings/lighting menu. But it also isn’t in the on-screen owners manual. I think I have the feature, but we don’t have the ability to turn it off. That mat be an older capability that is in a printed manual but not in the most current electronic one.

Do your lights go through a “sequence” when they first come on? From my understanding that is how you can tell you have them.

I think so. I have a 502a Lariat for sure, so I should have them, right?

I’ve got the 502A with the projectors. Mine do the aiming sequence on startup and I have witnessed them bending during a turn. It won’t do it at low speeds, but turning in my neighborhood residential streets I can definitely tell. Around 15-20 mph.

My wife’s Subaru has them as well, and it’s much more noticeable and moves more mechanically on that. The Ford does seem to be more of a “bend” as advertised.

Supposedly. Check this thread out. They have a video of how they work. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/thr...-led-reflector-lights-ambient-lighting?.1010/

What does your lighting settings a look like? Do you have the ability to turn them on and off? Did you window sticker specifically say dynamic bending or just that the headlights were led projectors?

My 502A has the Adaptive option on the set up screen
