The halogen headlights are terrible! I live in a place that is very dark during the winter months and these headlights are close to night having the lights on. I had to change them over to high intensity led bulbs, which isn't an easy chore, that made it better but ford, with all the new fangled technology out there, should put better headlights in its vehicles.
