My new favorite thing... the tailgate flood lamps. I used for the first time last night. And you can aim them! So useful for unloading all my crap. ?

Newbie to the forum and the Bronco Sport, so my apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but do the lights turn themselves off after a certain time if I forget to turn them off?

Iā€™m pretty sure when you close the tailgate with the lights on, they turn off automatically. Iā€™m pretty sure I tried this about a month ago, but Iā€™ll have to check again

You are correct! When I first turned the lights on and then I closed the tailgate, it didnā€™t shut all the way. Duh!! Shut the tailgate properly and the lights went off.

I must hand it to Ford. They did a good job tying heritage into the broncos, and more importantly truly modernizing with so many little things. Parts which make it cool for me, the little bottle opener, stupid but clever as heck for camping, recreation. The flood lamps with aiming capability in the bottom of the gate. The rear window vs full gate option. That was great on my 79, though with a swing spare, the rear window keyed down. The molle features on the seats, the 110v power supply, probably missing a lot of things as I am still waiting on production.

As per the Owners Manual, the lights will operate for 45-minutes then shut off automatically and will shut off when the rear hatch door is closed . This is from the Bronco Sport Canadian Owners manual.

Also, they can be turned on with the hatch closed. Useful for grabbing stuff through the glass.

combination of the rear floods, 110V outlet came in handy around 4AM. My son was at work, picked up a screw in his tire, flat to the rim. Hauled out to his jobsite, opened the gate, used the lights to see the screw, used the compressor to test the wheel. We opted to remove and replace with the spare and I loaded the injured tire in my cargo space. It absolutely made my assistance incredibly easier. I did learn to carry an extension cord in the future. That was the only thing lacking as we had to stretch the tank cord a little. All in all it went smooth. Even had room for my floor jack instead of his little OEM roadside scissor jack. Thanks Bronco, all those little details add up. Bronco to the rescue!

Ford did an exceptional job implementing this lighting feature!
