Was curious if it is possible to add the hero switches for any aftermarket lockers or if I have to go the manual switch route

The factory hero “switches” in the bronco aren’t actual switches, It’s a module. So I don’t see a plausible way of making them work for something else.

I think folks have got the rear to work, but I don’t know about the front. As Ducatti says - it isnt just a simple switch if you want it to integrate with GOAT and such and use the OEM buttons.

But you absolutely can just use a simple switch to add lockers - just not with Hero buttons

Is it possible to make it work with Forscan and wiring it somehow?

hero switches are too close together. I only use the front and rear lockers out of those switches anyways. But I think the front and rear positions should be switched anyways (I might switch the wiring one day).

The world is your oyster if installing aftermarket switches - dealers choice

You could use an AUX switch if you have them
