Disable Perimeter Lighting (Save your HIDs)
#33
Got this proceedure to work on my 08 FX4.
Only problem for me is that I have HID fog lights too. Is this supposed to disable the fogs as well? If not, is there a way?
As of right now I can arm or disarm with the headlights staying off, but the fogs still flash.
Anyone able to disable them so I don't nuke the HIDs in the fogs?
Thanks in advance!

Regarding disabling the perimeter lights on a 2010 Ford E150:
Way back in 2011 JohnFF150 reported that he was advised that it is possible to disable perimeter lighting on his vehicle, however, it is not something that can be done with a key/button sequence. (I’ve verified that this procedure does NOT work on my van.) He was told that the dealer has an IDS Diagnostic Tool that when used in Police Mode, can disable the perimeter lighting. Unfortunately my dealer could not figure this out. JohnFF150 was apparently given instructions from Ford that he took to his dealer. Does JohnFF150 or anyone have a copy of these instructions that they can email to me. It would be greatly appreciated! My van is a camper conversion and having the perimeter lights come on whenever a door is opened while camping is extremely annoying.
