Don't know about your 14 but with my 15 with auto light feature you can turn DRL's on or off from the productivity screen the procedure is fully explained in the owner's manual.

Ford needs to use their computer and enable DRL. You can have their head lights or marker lights. Had mine done in NY to get a reduction.

Depends on year and model of vehicle and where it was purchased, if in Canada they all come turned on already as it is law up there.

I called the dealer where I purchased the truck and the service writer had no clue what the hell I was talking about.

If you search more I know someone posted about how to change it with the dealers computer. First the Deaaler would have to check the Vin and see if it can be done. Not all vehicles can be done.

Most service writers are simple secretaries, they answer the phones, greet customers etc...

Soon as I get a chance today, I'll post the how to with pics so you can school curious George service writer.
