I have been looking for an easy way to explain to people how to swap halogen to LED headlights, and just in local conversations, people have brought up the "Ryan B" harness. Just people I run into and talking about F150s and Ryan B is famous haha! Will reach out to Ryan myself and see about getting some of these harnesses, it seems a lot of people who want to do this, may prefer to buy a set of OEM LEDs with the harnesses, then be pointed to this thread rather than piecing all the parts together themselves. Lots of good info here.

Went to OEM LED headlights the ForScan way, with Ryan B's harness and pinned the wires in the BCM connector.
Long story short, all works fine, but now my interior dome lights are always on, they start dimming but seem to be getting turned back on every 2 seconds.
All the details are in this post on the ForScan thread, thought I'd post it here for those of you who also did the OEM LED conversion.

As directed by Livnitup, I set 726-50-01 to 01xx instead of 10xx because I wanted the parking lights as DRL. This fixed the dome light issue, but unfortunately the amber outlines are not coming on when I put the truck in gear.
When I had it set to 02xx, putting the truck in gear with light switch Off would turn on the low beam, amber outline, grille lights and taillights,... but also triggered the dome lights issue.

726-50-01 01xx gives me no DRL
726-50-01 10xx gives me everything as DRL (low beam, parking lights, grille lights, taillights)
But at least I don't have the dome lights acting up anymore.
Is there a setting for just low beam as DRL?
