Daytime running lights

[Robert Smith]

Hi gang. I’m a big fan if daytime running lights. I have the upgraded instrument panel on my ‘08 and I’ve looked in every menu I could find to turn them on but I can’t find a way to activate them. I am beginning to think that my Expy doesn’t have them for some reason. Does anyone know if the ‘08’s came from the factory with DRL and how to turn them on? Or can they be added?

Thanks!!

Should be using your forward blinkers, use switchback projector LEDs if you want any manner of brightness from it

No DRLs for 97’-19’ Expeditions (never ever lol). Forscan can activate fogs on some newer ones to use as such. I’ve never been a fan of DRLs.

You can enable them with forscan

Computer program that lets your laptop wifi / bluetooth / plug into your OBDii port and access certain dealership scantool computer features

Or.... if you have stock halogen headlights, use those, they're about a DRLish level of puny anyway

Automatically, regardless of switch settings?

Any chance your vehicle was originally sold in or destined for Canada or Mexico or something? Any obvious indications previous owner liked to mod his stuff?

I have the same $45 Daytime Running Lamp option on my 2008.
Regularly see 07+ with DRLs and I am nowhere near Canada.




Just ask your dealer to turn them on at your next oil change / tire rotation
