Great - just what I needed to hear as I‘ve begun the task of filling out the forms for pensions and entitlements to start after the dreaded milestone in November.

Some of us have started the downhill medical slide long before retirement age. I have waaaay too many doctors to see on a regular basis anymore.

wait, what?
Now i need to find out how to do this. I would really like that. LOL. Here we go on another rabbit hole.

Another option. " Lasfit LDplus series led H8/ H11/ H16 switchback bulb with a brand new appearance provides a unique way to upgrade your vehicle's lighting. 2 Modes Switchback-3000K yellow/6000K white light increasing overall visibility and road illumination in rainy, snowy, harsh weather.

Seriously. Time flies as I also retired, started SS, busted up my knee and got a concussion, both while skiing.

Time flies like an eagle
Fruit flies like a banana
There is a fine line between being committed, and being committed.

So, I know I must have read about it here:
https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/forscan-crowdsourced-wiki.2008/

That said, my only notes on the change are here:
"Daylight running lamp set to fog light (top of BCM set to all options),
switched low beam to fog light."

Hope that helps, I wish I had the time to get it connected again and verify it but time it tight right now.

Ok so now you are making me want to take out my laptop to my truck. The Fog with turn signals. I presume it will flash with the signal or?

I have LED fogs installed, set them to be my DRL. Not sure how this will work, if you have the experience, curious.

Thanks for sharing as you usually do!

Fogs on Turns = Cornering Lights
If Fogs are not on - you can turn the steering wheel (angle?) I do not remember exact angle but the Fog will light up (Left or Right). I have mine set to enable and they are only active below 30 MPH if I recall correctly.
It does help in lighting a dark corner turn.
Fogs will not flash with the turn signal - if that's what you thought it was.

 

[Spacenut]

I had the fogs with turn and did not like it. They come on with the turn signal and also with about a quarter turn with the steering wheel, which was annoying to me.

 

[Cmar]

Great - just what I needed to hear as I‘ve begun the task of filling out the forms for pensions and entitlements to start after the dreaded milestone in November.

Well I could right now, but my wife keeps booking cruises, and anyhow I like my job, and they like me, and keep asking me to stay a bit longer every time I threaten to retire (it's a great way to get what you want sometimes), but I guess one day something will trigger it, and I'll just say "thats IT"

Ahhh ok, yeah I thought that maybe they would flash with the turn signals. No worries. I have thought about trying LED turn lights, I make this u-turn to get home and half the time it seems people at the stop sign don't realize I am going left.

 

[airline tech]

I cannot confirm the Halogen Assembly turn LEDs are brighter but can confirm the LED housing LED bulb which is turn only is BRIGHT and gets attention. It’s bright enough to reflect off of stop signs etc.
