Hi everyone, I drive a 2023 Explorer Timberline. I am wanting to have the front turn signals to act as parking lights as well. I don't want them as DRL, but I do want them if the parking lights are on or headlights are on. Still want them to act as turn signals as well. Anyone know how to accomplish that?

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.
Can you share the configuration with me please?

The DRLs are just brighter than the parking lights. DrLs and parking lights use the same LED strip along the top of the headlights.

My DRLs are the white strip and the amber turn signals are below it. I want to make the amber turn signals to also act as parking lights. Currently there are no forward facing parking lights (this is factory, didn't even know that was legal to not have that)

Yes there are, the LED strip dims to act as a parking light if set on that setting.

I see, you are correct, sorry about that, never realized.

Whenever I make the front turning lamps set to Turn and Position, they do not work as turn. As mentioned by another it is probably something to do with the brightness. Anyone figure out how to make the front turning lamps be dim for Position?

My 2025 ST hasn’t came in yet to test and verify this but for those with the 2025s already; confirm if the same values for the 2021-24 Explorers for amber DRL works on the 2025 Explorers? I’ve already had 2 people confirm, would like to know if anyone else has done it yet?


Values are:

BCM -> 726-42-01 -> x4x4 xxxx xx— (Sets the White
DRL to fixed position (off when the car is in normal drive mode during daytime)


BCM -> 726-43-01 -> x1x1 xxxx xx— (Sets Turn to Turn and DRL)

Haven't done it to mine yet but I saw a 25 on the road last week who had enabled amber DRLs...

That's cool you saw a 25 in the wild. I have not seen one other than mine.

Forscan is able to be used on 25s?

Amber DRL edits worked fine on the 25. Does anyone know if you can set the parking lights to amber too? They revert to the white strips. It may have been covered in the thread...I'm being lazy but will go back through it.

I've been following this thread since the prospect of purchasing a exst, I'm proud to say i am an owner of one... anyways.. this was the first thing I did and it got me thinking, wouldn't there be some way to trick the sensor into thinking it was Daylight all the time in hopes it would enable you to use the auto function as parking lights, I tried disabling the sensor but it didn't work
