Problem is people say they won't drench the inside, but at some point they will, because they can.
I'm currently driving my first Jeep—a soft top JLU.

Number of times I wanted to drench the interior on purpose: 0
Number of times I drenched the interior anyway: at least 5

My 13 year old daughter & I got caught, doors off, in a torrential Florida rain a few weeks ago on the way home & had to pull the 2 available drain plugs while we were driving to let the water out. Took days to get the skunky smell out of the carpet.

Pretty sure that unless you NEVER pull the doors or drop the top, the unbearable sweetness of having a vehicle that allows you to do that will creep in. And that's exactly when it pours buckets, lol.

LOL, had this happen a ton of times....pro tip: Shove empty water bottles under the carpet to help air it out.

I think they're all LED just like the headlights but the signature type is what they needed to actually answer.

Edit - Lower trims aren't LED like the headlights.
Define lower trim. Will the Black Diamond and Badlands have LED taillights?

Former owner of several Wranglers. Check into getting the floors rhino lined. Makes life so much easier.

I have read dozens of examples of this kind of Damp Disaster From Above posted by Floridians here (and I can confirm being caught out in a few frog-chokers myself while visiting my parents in Lee County).

At this point, I think Ford just needs to call the MGV interior/washout floors and drains/no power seats the Sunshine State Option.

Guess it's tied into the signature tail lights even though all Bronco's have LED front lights whether they're signature or not. So that would mean:

Base, BB, and BD all have the non signature tail lights and are non-LED
OBX, BL, WT, and FE have signature tail lights and are LED

LED:

Non-LED

Per the BN Instagram posts, BB will have LED rear lights but it's not in B&P or in the specs on the Ford site, however the front signature lights are listed as optional so hopefully the rears are included but just don't show in the changed image or it's one of the options to be added later. How this fares for Base and BD, don't know.

I saw in another post suggesting that the blind spot monitoring that comes with the mid package automatically gets LED tail lights since these house the sensors. Not sure if this is true.

HeadLAMPS....that’s inside the vehicle
I disagree. That would likely be worded "overhead" lamps. Anyways, here's a picture of the standard headlights on, and one with signature lighting on. If you look at the background yellow lines for reference, the standard headlight image actually seems to be more yellow. With some mental adjustment, the colors actually looks very close to me, leading me to believe that both are LED lights.

I've seen the suggestion too but there's also pics with the panels removed showing the BLIS unit is not integral to the LED rear light. Also the BLIS system is described in the Co-Pilot 360 portion not the Mid package part even though it's included in it but on the BB at least the LED headlights are listed under Safety as standard. Lots of things are still all over the place so who knows, would be a nice addition if you get the Mid or option for the signature front lights to have it included since I'm looking at the BB as a different alternative to the BL that already has it included.
