Ok, I just read through this whole thread. I have a 2013 xlt.
It looks like I can have just the amber front lights as DRLs (no headlights or tail lights), right??
Sounds like the hardest part is finding a dealer that; 1) will do the 5 minute job for free, 2) has a clue on what the heck they're doing.
Does this sound right?

If you have a 2013 with HIDs when the dealer activates the DRLs the amber turn signals will be the DRLs. If you dont have HIDs then the headlights will be the DRLs. ALL F150 s no matter where they are sold can have this feature activated. When the dealer does it via their computer hook up they will get a warning to check with local authorities to make sure its legal. Tell them that is for you to worry about. I had it done on my 2013 FX 4 that was made for the Middle East.

All 09-12 DRL are the headlights turned on at 80%
All 13-14 DRL HID & Halogen are the blinkers!
I know this for a fact because I have a 13 with HIDs and my DRL are my blinker bulbs. I also have a friend with a 13 with Halogen heads and he just had his DRL activated and it's his blinkers as well.

Diagnostics Performed:
Attempted to turn DRL feature on. Ws able to access DRL function and turn on, interior lights blink and BCM 2100 code turn on. Performed module configuration , reset tire monitors, battery config reset, and CEI lockout configuration procedure done. Cleared code and retest. Light still blinks and code remains, perform module config but no change. Reinstall as-built data to get module configuration to go through, but DRL feature reverts back to original setting and not on.
Technicians Question:
Is there a step by step procedure for activating DRL? Perhaps I am missing a step? I only see a description in the workshop manual and not an actual procedure.
