Headlights turning off when driving at night

[whitebronco]

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with their headlights or I just have a electrical module issue. A problem that has happened a few times at night (maybe during the day as I run DRL). Headlights when on either auto or manually turned on, will randomly turn off while driving and blinkers will go into hyper mode. I can flash the high beam and the highs come on but as soon as they are disengaged main lights still stay off. When engaging the blinkers they go into hyper mode the one just lights up and opposite turns completely off. Dash board lights stays the same as if the lights were on and the green headlight symbol on the dash stay lit as well. Bronco is a 2021 Stock Base model w/Sas and aux switches. The only electrical mod done is pod lights hooked up to the aux 2 switch so no tampering with headlights at all.

Well that's a new one, mine have a tendency to just turn on while parked at house, has happened 4 times now. I think the computers in these Broncos were made by "Skynet"

So here it is parked with lights/engine on.

Intermittent power from bad connection is my guess. Either a poorly terminated wire, or a connector that's not fully seated. I'd be getting it back to the dealer ASAP.

I keep a headlamp in the center console for "emergency purposes."
I think this qualifies

Are they set to auto? If they are, try manually turning them on and see if it stops, may be a bad dash sensor? Idk.

Definitely an electrical issue. Maybe a loose connection somewhere.

100% requires a dealer visit.

It is the same for auto or manual on.

Good afternoon. Can you please send over a private message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer? I would like to look closer into your Bronco's headlight issues.
