DRL LED Bar brightness boosted using Forscan

[Tyoder87]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I don't see any change in the brightness. I've only changed the 3's to 2's on 42-01 on the first group. I've tried all the brightness codes on 38-01, only changing the first two characters on the second group. I've tried putting it in drive to see if they brighten up then but didn't work. I enabled DRL in parking lights to see if that helps, it doesn't. I'm nor sure what I'm missing or screwing up. Anyone have ideas? Truck is a 21 XLT with quad LEDs if that helps.

UPDATE:

I got some help from Facebook. Apparently reloading my as built save and changing just the percentage codes and doing a bcm reset fixed it. Now they're nice and bright.

Howdy! Does anyone know if the same exact BCM values shared by the OP @Nightshade for his 2021 are the right ones for a 2016 Lariat with LEDs? I've tried both the 42-01 and the 38-01 changes several times and get a message "Writing block failed - incompatible configuration" message.

I had my DRLs set to Parking Light LED + Turns, so I reverted them back to Parking Light LEDs only, hoping that was the issue, but got the same error message.


Thanks!

@WestCoastHunter Those values are for 2021+ This wont work on a 2016

@antho thank you. I'll do some digging. I did notice in the first page or two of the thread that Nightshade had this working on his 2016 as well.

@antho is correct, this is only meant for 21+ F-150s. However I do have the values from the previous gen, and I’m sure the admins of this forum will let this slide for me this once but the values for 2015-2020 F-150s DRL brightened up should be:

BCM -> 726-29-02 -> x*xx xxxx xxxx (x1xx xxxx xxxx), which should look something similar to “0100 0001 005A”. Just change the * to a 1 and it should work.

—Just a disclaimer though, for the 2015-2017 F-150s sometimes have reported it doesn’t work so try with due diligence.


**Remember to back up your module before making any changes.

@Nightshade you're the man! And I was hoping I wouldn't cause any trouble given this is gen14, but I appreciate it. I'll for sure backup module, and already have my as-built saved.
