Short answer: yes, you can give a 2017-2019 Ford F-250, F-350 or F-450 Super Duty the 2020-2022 front end. The simplest way is the Morimoto Super Duty facelift kit (XBG3): a new core support and adapter harnesses that let a 2020-2022 style grille and headlights bolt onto your truck. The kit alone is $309. A complete swap with the Morimoto XBG LED grille and XB Evo series headlights runs $2,797 to $3,287.
Why you need a kit for this swap
The 2020-2022 grille and headlights do not bolt straight onto a 2017-2019 truck. Doing it with Ford parts means cutting up a 2020+ core support to make it fit. And if your truck came with factory LED headlights, you also need an adapter harness to get the newer headlights working.
The Morimoto kit replaces all of that. It is a new core support built for 2017-2019 trucks, plus plug-in adapter harnesses. Every factory mounting point, harness and accessory that attaches to the original grille support still has a place on the new one. No cutting and no splicing.

Two things to know before you order:
- Ford's factory 2020-2022 LED headlights will not work with this kit. Use Morimoto's 2020-2022 Super Duty headlights.
- Front camera: the camera emblem moves over to the new grille and keeps working. Morimoto confirmed no modification is needed.
What's in the facelift kit
- 1 Morimoto facelift core support, injection molded from 30% fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene
- 2 adapter harnesses (2017-2019 factory halogen or LED to the 2020-2022 standard)
- New stainless hardware and threaded clips
- Morimoto limited lifetime warranty
The grille and headlights are sold separately, or together with the kit as one order on our facelift kit page.
Choosing your headlights
Morimoto makes three 2020-2022 Super Duty headlights that work with the kit. All three use four Bi-LED projectors per side and carry a Morimoto 5-year limited warranty.
| Headlight | Price |
|---|---|
|
XB Evo (LF2-508) White or amber DRL, sequential or fade-off turn signal, heated lenses, start-up light sequence. DOT compliant. |
$1,999 |
|
XRGB Evo (LF2-508R) Color-changing DRL controlled with Morimoto's Bluetooth app, or set to white or amber. No heated lenses. Not legal for on-road use in the USA or Canada (color-changing DRL and smoked side markers). |
$1,999 |
|
XB Evo Hybrid (LF2-508Y) Same projectors. White DRL and fade-off turn signal only, no heated lenses. DOT compliant. |
$1,599 |
Our take: for a truck you drive on the street, get the XB Evo. If you want the same light output and do not need amber DRLs, sequential signals or heated lenses, the XB Evo Hybrid saves $400. The XRGB Evo is for show trucks and off-road use.
Want the full side-by-side, including the 2017-2019 versions? See our Morimoto Super Duty headlight comparison: XB Evo vs XB Evo Hybrid vs XRGB Evo.
Morimoto also sells optional Supercharged drivers that raise output. They are for off-road use only: with them installed, the headlights are no longer DOT compliant.
Choosing your grille
The Morimoto XBG LED grille is a 2020-2022 style grille with built-in LED daytime running light bars that dim automatically when your parking lights, low beams or high beams are on.
- Trim: gloss black or chrome. The trim pieces come off, so you can paint or wrap them to match your truck. If you plan to color-match, start with black.
- DRL color: white or amber.
- Matching tip: the XB Evo Hybrid's DRL is white only, so pair it with a white DRL grille. The XB Evo and XRGB Evo can be set to white or amber.

How the install works
This is a full front-end swap, not a grille insert. The factory grille, headlights and grille support come off and the new parts go on. If you are comfortable with hand tools and trim clips you can do it in your driveway. If not, any truck shop can handle it.
Watch our install video:
Tools Morimoto lists: ratchet, 10 mm socket, 13 mm socket, pry tool, split trim removal tool and Phillips screwdriver.
The steps, in order:
- Disassembly. Remove the factory grille, headlights and grille support. If your truck has a front camera, disconnect the camera and washer lines.
- Grille support install. Bolt the Morimoto core support to the factory mounting points.
- Headlight install. If your truck came with factory LED headlights, connect the kit's LED adapter harness. Halogen trucks skip that step. The headlights are large and the opening is tight, so twist them as they go in.
- Grille install. Mount the XBG grille and connect its adapter harness as shown in Morimoto's instructions.
- Headlight aiming. Aim the new headlights before driving at night.
Morimoto's tip: if your truck has tail lights that are not Morimoto or factory Ford, you may see hyper flash or a problem with the sequential turn signal setting.
It is the installer's responsibility to make sure the finished setup is legal in your state.
FAQ
Can you put 2020 headlights on a 2017 F-250?
Not directly. The 2020-2022 headlights need a different grille support and wiring. The Morimoto facelift kit provides both, so 2020-2022 style Morimoto headlights bolt on and plug in.
Can I use Ford's factory 2020-2022 LED headlights with the kit?
No. The kit is not compatible with Ford's factory 2020-2022 LED headlights. Use Morimoto's XB Evo, XRGB Evo or XB Evo Hybrid.
Does the kit work if my truck has factory halogen headlights?
Yes. The kit includes adapter harnesses for both factory halogen and factory LED trucks.
Will my front camera still work?
Yes. The camera emblem moves to the new grille and keeps working.
Are the headlights street legal?
The XB Evo and XB Evo Hybrid are DOT compliant with their standard drivers. The XRGB Evo is not legal for on-road use in the USA or Canada.
What is the warranty?
The facelift kit has Morimoto's limited lifetime warranty. The XB Evo, XRGB Evo and XB Evo Hybrid headlights have a Morimoto 5-year limited warranty when bought from an authorized dealer like OffRoadUSA.com.
