LED lights are pretty much always going to do this.. some catch more snow than others based on shape/design.

There was an article about this years ago when this became a problem with traffic signals as they started converting to LED - they didn't generate enough heat to melt the snow/sleet and got blocked up. Makes sense that it is happening as LEDs become more pervasive.

Yea...LED lights do that. Ford ain't gonna do anything

Nature of the beast, my F150 and 300C with LEDs do the same. Luckily here in AK getting wet sticky snow that causes this is not very often. I can count on 1 hand how many times I've had to physically clear the lights on all my LED headlight vehicles.

Sounds like an opportunity to install some accessory lights on your Bronco.

That is the nature of LED lights. Add a set of auxiliary lights in HID or old school halogen. They will generate enough heat to remain clear.

Yes, but how many fingers on that hand have been lost to frostbite?

Zero! Life long also, so I know a thing or two, because I've seen a thing or two.
