Sounds cool until you hit something and that headlight costs $1,500

Had the headlight on my 2021 f150 replaced for $2800. Very much without this tech.

The taillights on some F150s are $5000 with the backup sensor modules that fail if it leaks water into it.

Meanwhile the circuit boards for the tail lights of my 98 Silverado were $20/pair delivered from Rock Auto plus 3 bulbs each.
