Is it possible to switch off the DRL's?

Is there any way to temporarily switch off the DRL's ?

Assume you mean you want no lights on with the car running? However if that's not what you mean then turning on the sidelights shuts off the DRLs...
Intrigued as to why now though ;)

This is what i do. Big foglight drls = off, rear taillights = on

Does mean you get the bong when you get out the car but worth it so everyone can see how cool my taillights are

Whilst I have a double garage, it has 2 single doors and is a tight fit. When I go to park it, I line it up and pop out to check it looks straight and bang in the centre. However, the DRL's are quite bright if I'm looking towards the car when it's night time outside, I can't see the sides of the car making it a bit difficult!

I'll try the sidelights and see if that's any better, thanks.

In case they're still too bright, is it possible to switch off the front lighting altogether?

No idea. [MENTION=20131]Manders Mustang[/MENTION] may know - he knows a lot about the configuration of the lights. I'm sure there will be a software hack of some kind somewhere...

Ignition off...
Don't believe there's a temporary way with the car running. If you use your indicators the corresponding DRL goes off. Not sure if you put your hazards on if both would go out. But then you've got flashing indicators...

Forscan can turn drls off permanently. You can also use it to turn things on at certain points.

Forscan works for this. You can use it to disable drl' by default then give car settings menu options to re enable them for Mot time. You can also configure your drl' to be side lights instead if you prefer.

That's great, thanks!

This is how you do it:

Body Control Module (BCM):
726-16-02 x1x1 x1x1 x1xx - Enables control via IPC
726-21-01 xxxx xxxx x1xx - Enables control via IPC

Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC):
720-02-01 xxCx xxxx xxxx - Enables the DRL setting in the lighting menu. This is tricky. If you already have an "8" there then you change this to a "C" otherwise add 4 if you don't have the menu already.

The above works for those with the tribar led bord drls as well.

A dealer would know how to do this correct?

 

[MakStang]

No way. You will have to do it yourself using FORScan.

How do you access FORScan?

There is a thread about that. All the information is given in the first post:

Sorry to tag onto an older post!
BUT
I've added these options and now I get the option for on off via the steering wheel, however, they are still always off. Any suggestions on how to have them always on?
