I am running oem halogens so results may differ. I can get a picture in the morning but imagine your truck started with remote start, that's what it looks like.

I posted this in the FORScan discussion thread on this subject but haven't found a satisfactory answer:

Does anyone know how the OEM LED turn signals are heat sinked? The headlamps were designed to run constantly and absorb the heat generated. I wouldn't want to prematurely burn out my turn signals by using them as DRLs because they were only designed for intermittent use. Worst of all, unlike the headlamps which are an independent bulb assembly you have to change the entire housing to replace the turn signal.

is this mod so you dont have to turn on the light switch? im not really understanding why you would want to program less control over what you can turn on and off. or is it more control?

Some people want the ability to run parking lights, parking lights & turns, fog lights, etc. as Daytime Running Lights without the low beam on which up to now wasn't possible on 2015-2017s. DRLs output light at a reduced brightness than when the switch is in the on position. You don't give up any control over what you can already do with this mod either.

thank sir, appreciate your kind reply. can the lights be turned off (with truck still on) if desired without reprogramming?
