Holy huge headlight!!

This is one of the reasons I opted for the Ford extended warranty WITH the lighting coverage. That way if a headlight or any of the other led lighting burns out it will be covered under the contract. Even one repair will more than cover the cost of the policy more than 2X.

The likelihood of one of these just crapping out during your warranty is incredibly low. Damage like OP received is much more likely

Sometimes headlights are covered under safety. Had my XC90 light replaced because 2 of the DLR LEDs were dead and DLRs are part of driving safety was my claim.

1800$

So my Mach E just got back from the shop after some road debris flew up cracking my headlight ($1800) marking up my bumper ($1400 repaint) and chipping my windshield ($1800). I had asked the shop if I could keep the cracked headlight as it wasn't that big of a crack, and I thought I could figure a way to power the headlight LED's and make it a "show piece" in my garage or something.

Anyways, upon picking up the car (they did a great job BTW) the headlight was in the back and when I opened the tailgate I was blown away with exactly how big that headlight assembly actually was!! I've done aftermarket headlights and work on other vehicles and this thing is massive!!! Never would've guessed that much material was hiding behind the bumper etc. Anyways, due to its size my plans for a decorative piece is scrapped as its won't look as cool as I had thought.

Here's the damage from the road debris:

Yep, looks about right for the modern vehicle.

It's not just Ford. Our other vehicle is a 2021 Ram and its huge headlight assembly cost $2800 to replace (covered by warranty), just over a burned-out daytime running light.

OK, you're all scaring the heck out of me! When my car gets here, I'm going to cover the headlights with a thick protective cover.

Wait a minute.... ?

Just use daytime lights when necessary. ie. two lane highways. That's what I do it will help with efficiency.

With regard to crapping out or burned out.

I think it affects the way the rear llights show too (the half and half) when daytime lights are off or on.
