For the tail lights, I bought these Oracle reverse light bulb replacements. I haven't received them yet as they're on back order but it seems to be a good budget option if you are interested.
I’ve been running these for months on my base, and they are a no brainer. Easy to install, cheap, and in reverse they are bright AF. I’m planning to get the harness that stickerfab sells so I can run them off an aux switch.

If you get the chance and don't mind, could you post a picture of the back-up camera view on your infotainment screen when you're in reverse at night? I imagine its a big difference from stock, but I've been curious and have like 3-4 weeks before they ship to me it seems.

I might be the exception but I don’t mind the base headlights on the BD trim. I thought about the morimoto, especially with trade in credit. But I’m not mad about the stock headlights. They’re LED anyways. Now the rears, those look dated lol.

Hey, at least you have Sport Mode. It is inexplicable to me how Ford left Sport mode off the Badlands but all the lower trims have it.
I had no idea.. thanks for the uplift 😊

Morimoto XRGB headlights. They offer a $600 rebate if you send them your headlights.
I emailed them about this. They said they "might" give you "back" $600 if they want to after you buy theirs and give them yours. There isn't a guarantee. I'm not chancing losing bran new OEM headlights to them. There are better options out there now anyway. THanks!

I made the switch on my Big Bend. I found some OEM signature headlights on eBay for $900 and sold my non signatures for about $500. Then, having never done more than change flat tires on a car before, I followed the instructions on a Stage 3 Motorsports video and swapped them out myself. It was remarkably easy.

I'm not sure about swapping out the rear lights, but I swapped out both of my bumpers and with the rear bumper I installed flush pod lights to give me better lighting in the back. Instead of tying the flush pod lights to my reverse lights I connected them to an auxiliary switch to give me more flexibility.

Here are before and after pics:

Love the lights with that grill!

There are enough Broncos out there that you may be able to get lucky calling a few junk yards.
