Headlights on Big Bend Mid 2024

[AZCoyote]

I have seen the Form light in person, I don’t own them, but they are bright. Having a projector lens the cutoff is somewhat soft with a purple haze to it though.

I can speak to the OEM non-signature light. I am still running it, and if you can find a takeoff set for cheap, I would do that over an upgrade. I ended up doing Diode Dynamics Pro pocket lights in a mod bumper, and I run the SAE Fog lamps all the time with headlights — that fog lamp alone is almost as bright as the stock high beam headlamp and has a much wider field of light while remaining street legal.

So for just light - adding a good set of street legal fog lamps did what I needed for less than upgrading the head lamp. It doesn’t look as cool though.

But in the OPs case - they have a broken lamp, so it needs fixed. Try looking up LKQ and car-part.com for cheap salvage finds if there are no take offs to be had here, or I would agree with the OPs sentiment - get the cheaper XBs and throw that saved $600+ at a good pocket lamp to complement it. (That’s assuming the XB doesn’t have QC issues like the XRGB did or the Oracles do with their shuddering)

my OEM fogs fit in my winch bumper so I have plenty of light on road. I have a set on 9” lights for my bull bar in a cart and two amber lights for the bottom of my bumper. So the calculation takes into account what will be mounted up after the purchase too. The XB are best value for price IMO. Form obviously looks superior but decisions are not always based on that.

I was pretty sure it was LED. Anyone know the part? I’d rather get it here than eBay if anyone has one

Just incase you weren't aware, all Bronco come with LED headlights, with the signature just being a different design than the non-signature. Quite a few people switched to signature headlights, so you may be able to pick up a just about new OEM replacement for a reasonable amount. Brian's been giving you good info, but sometimes the obvious gets overlooked.

Yep. I found my build sheet and confirmed Signature. I have an OEM found and just deciding which way to go. Replace with Form for $1300+. Replace with XB and drop $700 remaining in some lighting. Replace with an OEM take off, get my $700 in lights and a controller, and some replacement speakers. Not too sure Form lights will bring me much joy compared to the rest.

Cool Factor:
I have the FORMS. The Amber DRLs are head turners. And MUCH brighter than my Non-Sig lamps.
-Jus say'n...

Way off topic here, but what really surprised me was how bright the turn signals are on the Signature lights.
The traffic signals and every sign in the vicinity just LIT up with every flash. I am surprised nobody ever flashed me because of those things! LOL!

Having had the Badlands (Signature) and Base (standard) at the same time, the actual headlight performance seemed to be about the same to me.

The move away from HID to LED is a step down in my opinion.
The (factory) xenon projectors (HID) I have dealt with have all been better than any factory halogen or LED headlamp I have driven behind.

Now, maybe if Diode Dynamics starting designing/spec-ing the reflectors and lamps for the factory LEDs, we might have some lighting to brag about. LOL

The Oculus Bi-LED headlamps really improve driver visibility with a stronger, more focused LED output. They’re a full replacement setup with a sharp cut-off line that keeps the beam aimed right where it should be, so you’re not blinding oncoming traffic — even if your Bronco is lifted.
