Sure will! To be clear on how to properly change the double honk and have the cool lights on, is this what you do?

- "Double Honk On Leaving Cabine" Disable
- "DRL include park lamps" Enable

Thank you for the help.

you'll need to find right front turn lamp usage and left front turn lamp usage and switch those to turn and DRL. Don't set it to turn, drl AND position otherwise that's where we have the problem where it won't work as a turn signal.

I followed your directions and the yellow lights didn’t pop up, but i’m sure it’s because I just did it at night. I found another configuration that says “Using DLR with turn signal” and the default option is “Inhibited.” Do I need to change this to “Allowed” in order to work? 9D42FC8D-4A99-4790-9D8A-5D8782EE4EE6.jpeg

It only works in the daytime. There's no way for the turn signals to stay on at night.

Yeah I understand that part. But do I additionally need to enable “Using DRL with turn signal”? Or is the only thing you need to change is right/left front lamp usage to turn and DRL? Thanks.

You just need to turn on the left and right lamps. If you use the drl with turn signals that should keep the drl white lights on when you use the turn signals and it makes it harder for other cars to see your signals. I'd keep that inhibited but that's just my opinion.

It works! But when I put the car in park while the car is still on it doesn’t show any light. Is there a way to fix this? I also didn't realize how bright it was with the white strip.

Not that I know of. DRL's are only meant to be on while driving for most vehicles. If the turn signal function worked as intended with the "DRL, Turn, and on position" it would stay on, but that's the mystery right now as how to get that to function properly.

I'll link a couple of Facebook groups I've been a member of for a while. The members there have some really cool builds and current projects going on. Most of them are hardware builds, as in opening up the headlights and physically changing the parts, but you may be able to get some ideas or post what you want from your headlights and people can chime in with their ideas.

Hey! New here, but I found out that you can have the fog lights come on with the DRL's too. I have that setup myself.

Thanks for the help with this. I have the amber lights as DRL and love the look. I know someone said you can’t have them on with low beams but does that mean the interceptors have different headlights because they have the amber lights at night as well.
Anyone dig further with forscan to see if it’s possible?

The PIUs have different headlights - they have integrated, or provisions for integrated red / blue warning lights as well as different color DRLs, they do not have white DLRs, only amber.
