smart fog lights

[johnardsg]

If your BS is equipped with fog lights, did you know that they are programmed/smart to turn on automatically to assist you on turns to make your path brighter when it’s dark?

To see that it works, turn off your fog lights then drive around town past sunset to get coffee or something and make a turn and you’ll notice the street/ground where you turned is brighter due to the fog light. You can go down and check it too.
Sometimes it stays on for a while and you might think one of your fog light is busted as only one is lit. (It turns off by itself)

Not sure what other small things like this are in the bronco sport, if you discovered any please add here.

That feature seems to have been deleted.
The fogs don't work as cornering lights on newer Bronco Sports. Cornering lights have been discussed here before.
I think it was only a feature on '21 and '22 models, based on forum threads here.

Do you have to get coffee to see if the fog lights work? Jk.

My neighbor called me to tell me one of fog lights were out just after I got my 2022 Badlands. I was in the parking lot trying to figure out what was wrong when I came to the conclusion that it was for making the turn on my street. It initially freaked me out because i thought my new 2022 bronco sport had an electrical issue.

Incidently I was going for a pizza

Speaking of fog lights, are there yellow fog light bulbs available?

That's what lights go for. OEM same price if not more for the set.

So it seems that the lamp can not be replaced by an amber lamp?

Fog lamps are LED and yellow fog lamp bulbs are available in LED but I don’t know what bulb is used in the Bronco Sport fog lamp and the note in the owners manual says “LED bulbs are not serviceable.. see your dealer if they fail”.

I wish mine were smarter. 90% of the time I start the car it remembers if I had them off or on. The other 10% it chooses for me.

I turned off the cornering lights in the settings a while back. If anyone is wondering, I'd look there to see if you have the feature. I wonder if you could even Forscan it back on newer ones or if that is a "chip" thing.

Not ours.

Does not work on my 2023 Outer banks edition.

I wish they were smart enough to only work when there is actual fog. I hate being blinded in the mornings when I drive to work by those who feel they should be on all the time.

Where did you find this setting in SYNC to turn off the cornering for lights?

 

[johnardsg]

I dont see that on the lighting section of my BB, that feature may only be controlled on the BL/OB trims

Hmm, guess I didn't because I looked again and it isn't there. Our Jeep has it as an option so that must be what I remember doing. I'd still bet you could Forscan it.
