I Asked chatGPt:
-------
Thanks for the image! You’ve got a really nicely outfitted Ford Bronco. Based on the visible gear, here’s a breakdown of the setup you’re asking about:
Bumper
Front Light Setup (on bumper)
Main Center Lights:
Corner Lights (under bumper):
Other Exterior Lights
Summary of Likely Gear
If you’d like help identifying the exact model numbers of the lights, you can send a close-up of the lights or the logos stamped on the housing — many of these brands have very specific markings.
Would you like suggestions for mounting a roof light bar or additional rear-facing lights as well?

Thanks for the image! You’ve got a really nicely outfitted Ford Bronco. Based on the visible gear, here’s a breakdown of the setup you’re asking about:
Bumper
- Brand/Style: This appears to be the MODULAR FRONT BUMPER that often comes stock on higher trims (like Badlands or Wildtrak), but it may have been customized or replaced.
- Aftermarket Possibility: If it’s not stock, it could be something like the Addictive Desert Designs (ADD) Stealth Fighter or RCI Off Road bumper, considering the matching RCI windshield panel above.
Front Light Setup (on bumper)
- You’ve got a full LED light bar kit installed in the center of the bumper, plus corner fog lights. Here are some possibilities:
Main Center Lights:
- Brand: These square LED pods look like Baja Designs Squadron Pros or SAE Squadrons, or possibly Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro.
- Configuration: 6 total – likely a combo of spot, driving, and flood beam patterns for maximum off-road visibility.
Corner Lights (under bumper):
- These appear to be amber LED pods, probably Baja Designs S2 Sport or SAE ambers or Diode Dynamics SSC2. Commonly used for dust, fog, or low-light trail conditions.
Other Exterior Lights
- Above Windshield (Sun Visor Area): That’s an RCI Off-Road Windshield Panel or Sun Visor with integrated lightbar mounting. It looks like it’s set up for overhead lighting, although there’s no lightbar mounted yet.
- Possible Hidden Lights: Some Bronco setups like this also hide ditch lights at the base of the A-pillars (not visible in this photo due to the angle).
Summary of Likely Gear
Component | Brand | Model/Notes |
Bumper | Ford Modular / RCI / ADD | Possibly stock modular or RCI replacement |
Center Light Pods | Baja Designs / Diode Dynamics | Squadron Pro, SAE, or SS3 Pros |
Corner Lights | Baja Designs / Diode Dynamics | Amber S2 Sport / SSC2 |
Windshield Panel | RCI Off-Road | With light bar mounting points |
If you’d like help identifying the exact model numbers of the lights, you can send a close-up of the lights or the logos stamped on the housing — many of these brands have very specific markings.

Great question — this is a critical consideration when upgrading your Ford Bronco’s front bumper, especially if it has the 360° camera system and adaptive cruise control (ACC).
✅ Compatibility of the Steel Modular Bumper
The Ford OEM steel modular front bumper IS compatible with:
However, here are important details you should know:
🔍 1.
360° Camera
📡 2.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
🛠️ 3.
Aftermarket Modular Bumpers
If you’re replacing the Ford modular bumper with an aftermarket modular bumper (e.g., from ADD, DV8, RCI, etc.), you need to **check if they are:
Look for keywords like:
🔧 Pro Tip:
If you plan to run a winch, bull bar, or light bar on the steel modular bumper, keep in mind:
You can add a front camera relocation kit (available from ZAutomotive or similar brands) that moves the camera up to the top of the grille or bumper, preserving its function.
✅ Summary: OEM Modular Steel Bumper
Let me know if you’re using an aftermarket bumper instead — I can help you find one that keeps all your tech functional!
✅ Compatibility of the Steel Modular Bumper
The Ford OEM steel modular front bumper IS compatible with:
- ✅ Front 360° camera
- ✅ Adaptive Cruise Control (with the proper bracket relocation kit)
- ✅ Front parking sensors (if equipped)
However, here are important details you should know:
🔍 1.
360° Camera
- The steel modular bumper has an open center slot and mounting point to retain clear vision for the front-facing camera, located just below the “O” in the BRONCO grille.
- You’ll want to avoid blocking it with winches, large light bars, or front grille guards — this is often why folks relocate winches behind the bumper or use low-profile mounting.
📡 2.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- ACC radar is typically located in the center grille or behind the Ford emblem.
- When upgrading to aftermarket bumpers (even the modular one if you’re doing major changes), you must use a Ford Performance ACC relocation bracket or Ford-calibrated hardware to maintain proper function.
- If not relocated properly or if obstructed, the system will:
- Disable itself
- Throw a warning in the dash
- Potentially cause cruise control to stop working altogether
🛠️ 3.
Aftermarket Modular Bumpers
If you’re replacing the Ford modular bumper with an aftermarket modular bumper (e.g., from ADD, DV8, RCI, etc.), you need to **check if they are:
- “Sensor-compatible”
- “360° camera compatible”
- “ACC-compatible”**
Look for keywords like:
- “Retains front camera visibility”
- “Adaptive cruise control ready”
- “Sensor relocation kit included”
🔧 Pro Tip:
If you plan to run a winch, bull bar, or light bar on the steel modular bumper, keep in mind:
- These can block the front camera
- Or cause adaptive cruise control errors if they obstruct radar
You can add a front camera relocation kit (available from ZAutomotive or similar brands) that moves the camera up to the top of the grille or bumper, preserving its function.
✅ Summary: OEM Modular Steel Bumper
Feature | Compatible? | Notes |
Front 360° Camera | ✅ Yes | As long as it’s unobstructed |
Adaptive Cruise Control | ✅ With relocation bracket | Ford Performance or equivalent |
Parking Sensors | ✅ Yes | Sensor cutouts present |

That is the factory Modular bumper. You can get one with all the sensors as they came on vehicles with the high/lux package. The lights look like they are Baja Design or Heritic I have Diode Dynamics and they look similar but not exactly. The light bar not sure who makes that. This is what the Diode Dynamics looks like in a mod bumper.

I think you're right. I think that's the light bar above the bumper. I think I'm going to start with just the bumper and those inset lights.
So the normal Ford modular with the diode. Are each of those lights controllable individually or are they all on or off from an aux switch? Sorry for all the questions, this is my first modification on my bronco!
