Inadequate Headlight Brightness. Aftermarket head light recommendations?

[Larry Christopher]

I have a 2022 Black Diamond that has , in my opinion , pretty dim headlights . Are there any after market lights out there that’ll replace the OEM lights ?

There are plenty - I believe that I saw a comparison between Stock and the Morimoto and it was a good improvement. (Also see Alpharex & Oracle). For a LOT less money, you could just add a lightbar:

Just don't get a bright light bar, and aim it down. In most states, it's illegal to drive with a certain number of lumens, and it's just dangerous for everyone else on top of that. Grill-mounted is probably safest in that regard

I added Rigid SAE fogs in my modular bumper and it is amazing how much better the light output is, 100% recommended.

Hey there!

We would recommend checking out our SAE-compliant fog light options to supplement your low beams.

You'll find two great options for your Bronco such as our Elite Series lamps or SS3 LED pods that are offered in 6k white or 3k yellow.

If you prefer the highest-performance OEM projector-style fog lamp that supplements your low beams, our Elite Series fog lamps are the route to go for a crispy clean cut-off.

However, our SS3 fog light kit is highly popular for more of an off-road appearance and is offered in 3 power levels if you want to take it up a notch!

Any additional questions, we'll be happy to help!

Aux lighting is always a big help

If you want the brightest headlights out there, go with the Morimoto XRGB

https://www.4x4truckleds.com/morimoto-xrgb-led-headlights-for-2021-ford-bronco/

They are the brightest headlights we've tested and have an RGB surround you can change.

If you want a bit higher quality over the XRGB, the XB from Morimoto are the next choice (and currently what we run). They are not as bright as the XRGB but still brighter then others on the market

Another popular option are the Alpharex, although they are not as bright as Morimoto. Im not a FAN of the Alpharex because their beam pattern is not as crisp and clean as the Morimoto. You're also spending a bit more money on the Alpharex compared to the Morimoto XRGB, but the AlphaRex are a little less then the Morimoto XB

I would avoid Oracle headlights. We brought in a test to test and the output wasn't that great and the quality is terrible. They use two PLASTIC supporting pieces to install the headlight. It wobbles. Even with the truck sitting still and running you can see the headlights bouncing around. It's just terrible.

IMHO a good set of wide cornering fogs made a big difference. I personally run DD SSC2 Pros in white.

here is a pic from my Black Diamond

Check your state laws.. Most places are illegal to drive with fog/aux lights unless its inclement weather. I upgraded my BD to the morimoto XRGB lights and theyre amazing!

I went with Morimoto. They also can buy back your OEM lights for $600, though I still have mine.

It isn’t $600 anymore. They now only offer $15 lol

BEFORE you spend money....try adjusting them up. I did that, and all complaints were gone. Really. I did later add @Diode Dynamics fogs for dark/deer areas and wowza do they light up the night!

That said, I know there are also led bulb replacements out there. And I think it's @ORACLE Lighting that offers headlight unit replacements. Their tail replacements are freakin' awesome, so I expect the heads would be as well.

All 50 states allow the use of fog lights. What you are referring to are "off-road" lights or auxiliary lighting. But FOG lights (when you are using SAE fogs) are legal to use.
