In what Ford claims as a segment first the New Ford F-150 truck will be available with LED headlamps.
With the LED lighting system available for the new F-150, Ford says its lighting experts had more freedom with the lamp design, because LEDs are smaller than typical headlamps and are easier to package.
Ford lighting expert John Teodecki also said the LED headlamps in the new F-150 are more durable than conventional lights, and are made to last more than five times longer.
The new Ford F-150 LED headlamp unit uses semiconductor chips to control the light. The technology is much simpler than halogen or HID, which helps make LED lights more durable and therefore longer-lasting.
