FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck
It's my first day
Microsoft launched a new mini Surface tablet today. I'm tempted to pick one up just for ForScan and other vehicle diagnostic software use.

Thank you livinitup. If I just manually turn on my Parking lights they will both light up white. So I’m sure it can be done so they are used in that configuration for drl. I seen there was a configuration for parking lights only as drl but it was stated it was for led only so I didn’t try it.
1. Enable DRL Parking Lights:
(Can be combined with other DRL options such as Fogs)
726-26-02: x1xx xxxx xxxx
This will give you the white halos, indicator lights (mine are white/amber switchbacks) and rear tail lights. This would be exactly the same as if you were to turn the light **** to parking lights.
2. DRL - Front Fog Lights only
BCM 726-45-01 xxxx 7Fxx xxxx
726-50-01 04xx
This then adds your fog selection in addition to the above.
Go into your IPC settings and enable DRLs and you're all set! And yes, disabling them in the IPC will deactivate any of the changes.

Hey guys!
I have been jumping around the forum some to try and find a specific issue I'm having and haven't quite found what Im looking for. I have pretty much replaced all my halogen lights (with the exception of high beam and small parking light in the head light housing) with Diode Dynamic LEDs. The last one I added was the switchback LED for the front turn signals. I hopped into FORscan to change my DRL's to my turn signals, being under the impression the lights would be bright white while driving, and switching to amber when the turn signal is activated. However my lights are always amber, the only time I have seen them white is when the truck is unlocked, and not when driving. Not sure if I missed something in FORscan or added a wrong value somewhere, or if I should have done more research before hand and this is not even an option to do what I want. Anyways, any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone found a way to change how long the cargo light stays on after it's activated by the dash switch? Factory seems to be 15 minutes, I'd like it to be more like 3 minutes or better yet it would be nice to be able to turn it off when I'm done with it. it's a 2018 XL
Is it just me or does it seem illogical to have a switch to turn on a light but it doesn't turn it off?
Thanks Daily

What am curious about is: what happens when you reverse the polarity of the bulb in the socket and keep your ForScan changes. Shouldn't that make it work the way you want? With typical LED's polarity matters for current rectification within the circuit, where wrong polarity = no light. Your bulbs don't sound like typical LED's though, my guess is there is some AC to DC witchcraft going on inside the bulb and the circuit polarity at the truck's socket might be the issue.
