Guys, today there was a bit of a breakthrough in the FORScan thread and figured I'd post here in the main area as well in case some of you haven't got aboard the FORScan train yet or follow that thread.

Member DanMc85 made a discovery today about how to get around the (up to now) limitation of not being able to set Parking Lights, Fogs, Front Turn Lamps, High Beams, and Dedicated Lights (LED Light Bars/Strips) as DRLs. Any of these can be set in a few minutes via software only (no wiring) with FORScan.

Here's the original post about it in the FORScan thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/forsc...5/#post5285293

I can't count how many people in the past year have asked me about doing Parking Lights and or Parking Lights & Turns as DRL so if you're one of them please visit the post above and donate some beer money to his Paypal link since he has put countless hours into this.

I've tested this on my own truck with factory LEDs and it works perfectly with Daytime Lights set in the IPC menu and the headlamp switch on Auto in my case. We need some feedback from guys with Halogen and aftermarket LEDs also.

Here's what I used to get Parking Lights (outer halo, no turn, no low beams) as DRL:
BCM
726-26-02 x1xx xxxx xxxx
726-50-01 017F

See the linked post above for all of the options and post your results in this thread

Does that allow the options to be selected in the IPC? Cause that would be sweet

DanMc85

You can turn the DRL on and off from IPC but can't change what lights function as DRL from there.

Thank you sir

I have stock halogens. If you need me to test, I'd like to set mine to park, turns, and fogs as DRL.

Livnitup

You can do Park & turns at the same time but not fogs too. Use this for Parks & Turns

726-50-01: 08xx
726-26-02: x1xx xxxx xxxx

should I return to my original values before proceeding with this change?

Livnitup

No, you can just change those values and leave whatever else you've already changed in BCM alone.

Frank Langella

Can you even tell the parking lights/"outer halo" are on during the daytime?

Please report back if this worked for you setting parks as DRL. I had factory halogens also. I am wanting to have my park lights as DRL, but this doesn't work for me like it does for the guys with factory LED halos for parks. I had some custom wiring and I would like to see whether or not this works for someone who has factory halogens so I can hopefully rule out a possible issue with the wiring.
