Did you go to the link that I referenced 5 posts earlier? It turns of the LED DRL strip and uses the turn signals as your DRL... and the turn signals still work. At night, it's just the headlights. To me, that's perfect.
I know we tried a few different "codes" to change and none worked. We got the LED bar off, and finally found where to turn the orange DRLs on when parking/headlights are turned on.

Anyone know how to reduce the brightness of the Amber DRLs? They're about twice as bright as the interceptor amber DRLs.
Additionally, if someone can figure out how to get "Position" lights to turn off when the blinker is being used, that will fix the blinker issue as well. Similar to how the white DRLs turn off in daytime when the turn signal is active.
Btw, the vehicle uses "Position" light mode as the running lights at night when in auto light mode. That's why the DRLs stop working at night for those who set it to "DRL and Turn"
If there was a "Use DRL at night" option in ForScan, none of this turn signal mess would be an issue haha

I've looked it up, but I could be wrong on this, apparently the turn signals are at 100% and cannot change unless you order police interceptor headlights or if someone else has found a way. Will the Ambers DRLs work at night if the positions lamps are off? The position lamps are in the forscan.

No. You have to have it in "DRL, Turn and Position" for it to work all the time, even at night. If you set it to "DRL and Turn," ambers will not work at night. Essentially, the DRLs switch to Position lights at night when the headlights are on. Even if you turn the headlights on manually, the position lamps also turn on. Turn signals are unable to override the position lights, though.
