The Power of LED Daytime Running Lights: 2020–2022 Ford Super Duty

LED Daytime Running Lights

Morimoto XBG LED Grille Upgrade Kit

Are you tired of the ordinary look of your 2020–2022 Ford Super Duty Platinum? Does your truck blend into traffic instead of standing out?

After investing in a top-tier truck, you expect it to look the part. However, the factory front end doesn’t always reflect the truck’s power and presence.

Fortunately, there’s a clean solution. The Morimoto XBG LED Grille Upgrade Kit transforms the front end instantly. Instead of replacing the entire grille, this system integrates directly into your OEM Platinum grille for a seamless, high-end result.

As a result, your truck gains serious visual impact without losing its factory refinement.


The Power of LED Daytime Running Lights

At the center of the XBG kit are high-output LED Daytime Running Light bars.

Because Morimoto built these DRL bars using automotive-grade optics and Osram LEDs from their XB headlight lineup, the output is intense and consistent. Even in broad daylight, your Super Duty remains highly visible.

During nighttime driving, the system automatically dims when your parking lights, low beams, or high beams activate. This feature reduces glare while maintaining a premium glow.

In addition, you can choose between:

  • White DRL

  • Amber DRL

That flexibility allows you to tailor the look to your build.


Premium Optics. Real Performance.

Many aftermarket grille light kits look impressive in photos. In reality, most struggle with uneven brightness and visible LED hotspots.

By contrast, Morimoto engineered the XBG optics for uniform illumination and clean diffusion. The light spreads evenly across the bar, which creates a factory-level appearance.

When you compare it to generic marketplace options, the difference becomes obvious. Not only does it look better, but it also performs better over time.

If quality matters to you, this upgrade delivers.


Simple Installation

Unlike many custom lighting projects, this upgrade does not require fabrication.

Instead, the XBG inserts snap directly into the mounting points for the factory upper and lower trim pieces. Because the finish matches the OEM Platinum grille, the final result looks completely integrated.

Furthermore, the DRL color pairs perfectly with Morimoto XB headlights. Even so, it also blends cleanly with OEM LEDs or other aftermarket setups.


True Plug-and-Play Wiring

Equally important, the XBG DRL bars feature a true plug-and-play wiring system.

Two intensity levels activate automatically based on signals from your factory headlight wiring. For trucks equipped with halogen headlights, the default harness intercepts the original signals directly.

Meanwhile, Super Duties with factory LED headlights receive an included adapter harness. Therefore, you won’t need to modify your wiring at all.

Everything connects using OEM-style multi-pin connectors, which keeps installation clean and reversible.

Inside the box, you’ll find:

  • 1x Morimoto XBG DRL Grille Upgrade Kit (Complete grille not included)

  • 2x XBG LED DRL Bars (White or Amber, pre-installed)

  • Upper and Lower DRL Housings (OE-Match Platinum Finish)

In addition, Morimoto backs the kit with a 5-year warranty for long-term peace of mind.
