I would like for the “BRONCO” badge on the grill to light up either with the daytime running lights or with the headlights when turned on. I don’t think it does this already, so wondering if there is a way to do this. Thinking maybe the aftermarket might come up with a grill for that or if there’s a way to connect a light source to the grill badge with the aux switches

We have been building custom illuminated badges for over a decade and have plans to release a design based off the image above at SEMA 2021.
Would this be an aux switch, or wired directly in to headlights?

3D printing or otherwise creating a semi transparent acrylic with LEDs lighting them would create the affect you're looking for. I considered doing a side business on what you described but don't feel like having to get a lawyer if it's considered trademark infringement or whatever the legal term for stealing IP is.

White-frosted translucent plastic with some low-key orange lights to match my Cyber-Orange would be pretty sweet..

White during the day, orange at night.

I freekin love that!
Great, we think its a great addition to the front end of the Bronco!

Would this be an aux switch, or wired directly in to headlights?
Could be connected either way, if connected to the headlights it would need to be white.

Yes, that is the timeframe we will be introducing the product and offering it shortly after that.

Who is we, sucka? JK, I see Oracle. That looks awesome. I thought I read somewhere the letters were welded onto the grill. Have you actually played with any of these parts and can explain how this will be done?

Oh, one enhancement, make a little lighted sasquatch to fit into one of the grill slots.
There was a DIY video yesterday where an owner repainted the grill white and the letters red. He drilled out the letters and remounted.

Yeah, I could get behind this solution (the lit BRONCO letters on the grill) if it doesn't cost a stupid amount of $$.

I wonder how road legal that would be
Assuming you'd do this utilizing one of the on-board switches.

Do any other vehicles have this today?
Considering Mercedes has it on their emblem and Mazda does something similar this should be okay. Heck in pa it's illegal to run anything other than headlights and fog lights. But it's hardly enforced
