Stock LEDs and turning on the halos as DRLs
I've been in the forscan thread but hoping someone can help here. I've tried everything to get my halos as DRLs and nothing works. I've reset my BCM values to stock and then entered the numbers from the spreadsheet. Nothing. I've disconnected the battery. Nothing. The daytime running lights are enabled in the cluster. Nothing. Anyone else have issues with getting this to work?

On my 2018, the headlight switch needs to be set to 'auto' and the truck in Drive for the DRLs to come on...my '07 Explorer is the same way so I'm guessing your truck should be the same. Unless you have someone looking out for you or you have a reflection you can use, I don't know how you're going to check if they are on with the truck in Drive by yourself.

The DRLs only come on when the switch is set to auto, when it gets dark it’s not a DRL anymore, they automatically flip to full on headlights and parking lights.
Yes, the OP could check his DRL function (in drive) on his garage if he has one.

I can see a reflection off the motorcycle mirrors in the garage. Truck running in drive...nothing.
Curious what people have in the 726-50-01 line?
According to the spreadsheet in the common section it says 01 in the first two places...that puts my final setting to 017F when written. Looking deeper into the BCM section of the spreadsheet it says that setting is DRL disabled?
Now I'm fully confused??? Haha
Can anyone share what they have in 726-50-01 that has them working.

The last two #s are the check sum - don’t worry about them it automatically calculates that.
If you changed all of the following and it don’t work I’d put them back to stock and start over - I’ve never had a problem

726-26-02
