Interceptor amber DRL's on Explorer St

Perfect, I'll have to give this a shot sooner than later. Appreciate it man!

For those seeking to modify the DRL (white band strip) from the 2020 + explorers try this method using Forscan. I was able to disable it and turn on my headlamp switch to find it off. After going over the spreadsheet someone posted in this forum this is what I did. The amber turn signal lamp stays on in lieu of the white strip during Daytime using someone else’s method they posted on here, and the ambers stay on when the headlights are on, my vehicle is an XLT 2020 Civillian model as evidenced by the silver accent marks on the grill

Posting to older thread but trying to put on the Amber Turn Signal Lights when DRLs are on.

I followed prior posts but some reason it still won't work. Curious if any members know what I am doing wrong?

Prior Post Instructions:

726-42-01 x4x4 xxxx xxXX - Sets the White DRL to fixed position, meaning they're dim when the headlight is on, and off when the car is in normal drive mode, daytime.
726-43-01 x1x1 xxxx xxXX - Sets Turn to Turn and DRL

Thanks in advance for any possible assistance.

You don’t need to change any values.

Thanks for responding but not sure I follow. Are you saying the values are right or the ones present prior to change were correct? In either case neither work on 2024.

send me a pm and and I’ll try walking you through it.

Hi everyone,

I have been following this forum for over a year. I had a 2016 Ford Explorer Sport and didn't muster the courage to try this on forscan. I recently purchased a brand new 2023 Explorer ST, and decided to give this a shot. I literally went to the store and bought a $200 Windows Laptop just to do this because I've been dying to.

I did not go into the nitty-gritty lines and changing the numbers. I was able to (1) turn on the turn signals as DRLs, (2) remove the glowing white LEDs atop the lights, and (3) activate them for daytime AND night time use. I have NOT, however, been able to figure out how to use the turn signals while they are on as DRLs.

I changed the following settings in Module Config (NOT AS-BUILT FORMAT)

(1) Police Dark Car (enabled)
(2) Police Dark Car - DRL (enabled)
(3) Right AND Left Front Turning Lamp Usage (Turn Only, Turn, DRL and Position)
(4) Right AND Left Front Position Lamp Usage (Position and Park)
(5) Right AND Left Front DRL Lamp Usage (Fixed DRL and Position)
(6) Parking Lamps as DRLs (Enabled)
(7) Right AND Left Low Beam Usage (Low Beam Only)
(8) There was also some setting about using parking lamps as DRLs, I enabled that.

I have NOT been able to figure out how to activate this as a turn signal without removing the "POSITION" setting on the Turning Lamp Usage setting. When I removed this, the amber lights did not stay on constantly. This is also with the DRL setting ON in the vehicle settings. Changing this setting did not modify any of my lights. On a weirder note, I was able to activate the WHITE GLOWING LEDs atop the main vehicle lights as turn signals. This looked stupid, however.


If anyone knows how to use the Parking Lamps as turn signals while keeping them on all the time, please let me know. This was my first time messing with ForScan, so I do not feel comfortable modifying the numbers without knowing where to go. if someone can help, it would be appreciated!

Anyone figure out how to keep the amber drl on at night yet?

I think someone did. I saw it on instagram. It also sounds like @adamst1124 was able to.

I feel like a broken record

For the ambers to run as DRL and work as turn signals during the day (only works during daylight, night time is normal headlights and turn signals, no DRL):
Set the turn lamps as “turn + DRL” or 726-43-01 x1x1 xxxx xxxx
set the DRLs to “no used” or 726-42-01 x0x0 xxxx xxxx

Correct, i made a post on this earlier back in January, I have mines configured to where During the day the ambers stay on, and the white trim lights are set to "0" brightness, but at night the ambers stay on as well, but dont flash when you flip the turn signal switch left or right in the front. The ambers in the rear of the vehicle flash at night once you flip the turn signal on, but mines is set to where when the headlamps are on, the ambers are "locked" in place from the front, and only flash in the rear, not the front. However when the headlamps are off, both front and rear flash at the turn signal switch, and the front ambers resume position to both stay on once the left or right turn has been made. I can share my configuration from my vehicle to anyone if you want it, and either just play around with them on your own liking. Im still trying to find a way to configure the high beams to flash as police lights do, as my vehicle is being used for 1st responder purposes.
