I'd like to see various off-road lights options from factory and from the aftermarket -- light bars, ditch lights, flood lights, bumper lights, etc. Anything else I'm missing?

Also please give us easy electrical hookup to the AUX switches.

Definitely! I love the aux switches and extra pre-ran circuitry in my bronco. I do wish they were a few gauges higher in size though.. Cant say I trust the ones ran to the glovebox and up the A pillar for 30 amps.

I run the Bantam sPod system in my old Bronco and having my off-road lights dimmable is great because they can double as running lights on the highway and if you are off-road turn them up to 50-60% so you are not blasting people out of their camps or blinding oncoming vehicles... plus less draw on the battery will equate to more miles on the Scout. I hope Scout's aux switches provide dimmable functionality via app or on the switch directly.

I like the Off Road Lights on the Scouts luggage rack depicted in some pictures. You are so glad you have them pulling into camp on a dark night.

Also like the winch may have additional lights on that extended bumper.
May just go with the "Shaved" look with no outside rack or winch. Grocery getter look or ready for the outback look.

wonder if they can turn off main headlights and all others turn red in camp mode? Works in the military to keep night vision, disturb others less but not really that helpful when underway/moving.

What is a ditch light? Sorry, don't off-road much and my dirt bike barely had any lights at all.

I believe that he's talking about Rock lights. Lights that illuminate the ground directly around the vehicle so when you're rock crawling at night you can see where your wheels need to be.

Ditch lights are the lights that you typically see at the bottom of an A-pillar and can be rotated outward to expand the periphery of your light to the sides of the vehicle. I believe it kinda started with police vehicles... "Ditch lights" on a police vehicle are auxiliary lights typically mounted on the front of the car, near the windshield, aimed downwards to illuminate the sides of the road, particularly the ditches, allowing officers to better see pedestrians, hazards, or potential suspects in low-light situations while driving at night or in poorly lit areas; essentially providing better peripheral vision along the roadside.

The lights underneath the vehicle and in the wheel wells are called Rock Lights

Gotcha thanks, can see how they‘d be handy for camping/off-roading.

Yes please!! I run morimoto 4bangers as throw lights and ditch lights. Over can throw lights aren’t my favorite when is dusty or foggy so having a light bar or bully bar option in the front would be great. Given that it’s a frunk, I’m sure a light bar can be added into the grill area. Dutch lights at the A pillars are a must for after market as well. Add small LED area lights into the roof rack on all sides for built in area lighting would be awesome as well.
