Default Tail lights on all the time

Can I change a setting in Forscan so I can have my LED tail lights on all the time, even with the switch to auto?

2019 Lariat with factory LEDs.

There could be a way to set those to on independently, and I'm sure someone with more ForScan experience will chime in, but as far as I know, you would need to switch DRLs to park lights to accomplish that. That's how I have mine set. I really only wanted them on the front, but with park lights enabled you get front and rear as DRLs.

this should set the park lights to be the drl lights and they would be on from the moment you shift into gear. that's how mine is set currently.

Got it to work! I like the tail lights on all the time. Looks much better if you have LED’s. All the modern high end cars have their tail lights on automatically.

Not in the US . I have friends and acquaintances with all kinds of exotics, and that's not the case.

Never seen high end cars with the parking lights on all the time. Wait until one of those LED tail lights burns out.
