Intensifying High-beams?

[Clemson Tiger]

Maybe someone has already mentioned this, but I cant seem to find it searching the forums. I have owned and driven a lot of vehicles but I ever never had a vehicle do what I am about to describe. When I have the auto high-beams on and the low beams are active and in the process of switching back to the high beams, there is a 1 to 2 second interval where the light grows in intensity to full high beam brightness. At first I thought I was imagining it. Has anyone else noticed this? I assume this is a feature of the Bronco or a new feature coming to all vehicles. I find it sort of neat. By the way, I have just the standard package on my 2 dr Badlands 7MT.

I don't know if the standard package has automatic high beams or not. My high package does and it slowly adjust brightness up and down as you mentioned.

Have not noticed that. What I have noticed is the lack of a high beam.

This it the auto high beam function, mine does this and I really like it. My QX has auto high beams and its always instant on and off, kind of annoying when it switches back and forth, I really like what Ford did with the fade on and fade off high beams.

Weird, mine just flick on and off. Maybe this is a '22 thing, or a recent update.

I've had the auto function turned off forever because Fords calibration is TRASH and they were always flashing other drivers for no reason.

My ‘22 Auto High Beam works in this fashion. It will decrease at oncoming and then slowly intensify back to HIGH beam

My wife’s 2020 Aviator does not have the feature either so must be a new feature for ford because you’d think the Aviator or your QX would have it.

It is odd. I've watched them closely and often can't even tell when they come back on. And they do suck for modern lights. I jacked them up a bit to help...

Oddly enough, it's the feature i most enjoy. Mine work flawlessly. Wife hates it.

The lights were rated marginal and cost a 5 star rating. I have added plenty more f lighting with my Aux switches

Same - Added a bunch of AUX lights and it's a non-issue.

I will say, the Bronco headlights aren't terrible. I usually had far worse on my previous vehicles, except my Audi. My Audi had the best headlights I've seen in a vehicle; top notch.
