Is 2026 Bronco refresh really going to include rectangular headlights?

The aftermarket grille and headlight manufacturers will thrive if that becomes reality.
I thought I turned in a petition to stop AI pics from the forum.
Most wouldn't know the difference.... and how would you enforce that? Just block the pic andt/or punish the person for uploading it, which would be me in this case. But why do that as this is valuable useful intel. A pic is worth a 1000 words as they say, rendered or not...

Thats why I always keep my rear doors off and have colored pom-pom streamers hooked up to my back seat vents with the air blasting full time so everyone can l see I have a 2025.
Haha true is that... Similarly I have a rare early Badlands with a rear seat center console due to one of the few who actually factory ordered there Badlands with leather... so now i do drive with my doors off and it folded down 😃

It will date your Bronco in a good way. I like the simple round headlights without awful LED strips all over creation. That square rendering looks like every pickup on the road. Totally destroys the Broncos unique and basic good looks. LED headlights are great. Nonsensical LEDs all over the place look geeky and cost a fortune to replace. One reason l chose the Base Bronco.

Just curious if the comments and renderings concerning the mid cycle refresh are true regarding the move from round to square headlights, or is that just speculation....

FORD if you are reading this... REMEMBER / Learn from JEEP...

They went from round to rectangle ... then with their tail between their legs went back to ROUND.

Just say...

I remember that! People were calling the YJ the "Yuppie Jeep". Then when the TJ came out it got absolute accolades.

At the end of ‘24 YouTube had several AI refresh speculation videos that we’re all click bait garbage just like this one.

I hope they don’t. In my opinion I think ford should do it by generation so 6th generation would be 21-31 as the same headlight design to pay homage to the 1st gen. Then the 7th generation should have the square headlights and maybe a redesign to pay homage for the 2nd-5th generations.
