Hi,
Would anyone here have an idea what it wold cost me to buy and switch headlights on my Select version to Signature ones like the Premium version.
Signature headlights is the feature I miss the most about not going with Premium but for the price difference I should be able to switch them after I get the car. Just wondering what lights like this might go for ???

You'd better sit down for this one. LED headlights and assemblies are hideously expensive. You have to replace the entire thing. On the Bolt they're $1100.00 each. On our Camry with adaptive LED's, the feature that cost $400 new, is $2450.00 to replace, per side.

Installation not included.

Even if you are able to do a direct swap, my guess is a new, full headlight assembly is likely >$1000 for a pair.

On the other hand, it won't be too long before the aftermarket has plenty of DOT legal options for you. I'd stick with the Select ones and see what pops up down the line.

It's silly expensive.

Here's one of them. (If you hit that link, be sure to filter to 2021 Mustang Mach-E in order to see the parts.)

The control unit shown in the diagram has a different shape/look compared to the one for the reflector headlights. If the control unit is sold separately from the assembly, then add another couple hundred for each side:

OMG, i thought $1000 each at the most. That is crazy. I guess I will just wait for aftermarket options.

Well, that answers another question for me.

I was wondering about swapping out headlights for the adaptive headlights if they ever get approved for US use.

But at $3,333 (for just parts), it's not going to happen.

The lighting control module references halogen lights, which is obviously wrong.

There are lots of errors and omitted info throughout the whole Parts web site. If you need parts, it's best to get the correct part numbers from the existing part (if replacing with identical), a service manual, or the professionals in the dealership Parts department. Then go from there.

Actually, does anyone even have a video of Reflector Headlight anywhere ?
I would like to compare the reflector one with Projector that will be offered on Premium.

This may be able to be coded back on if they haven't changed the hardware....this is how it is on my BMW. Plenty of coders out there on the BMW scene who will turn this feature on for around $100.

There won't be aftermarket solutions....this isn't an f150 with 800k+ sales annually. If the lights are important to you, then spend the money now.

Oh wow, I noticed that the Select had the different "look" headlamps, but I still prefer the trim of the Standard over the Premium as I cannot handle the piano black trim around the wheel wells and under door panel as that will drive this OCD guy insane. ? Thanks for asking this question as I would swap the headlamps, but not for those prices. Oh and I take delivery of my Select Space White model (hopefully) on June 18th. ?? Awesome forum.

What are the chances the control module could be swapped on our reflector lights. Lol they could be the same I highly doubt it but sometimes you hear about stuff being the same throughout all models and slight mods make them interchangeable. I have a Cali rt 1
