Back To College (Daytime running lights)

[The Long Ranger]

Ran alongside another Ranger today on divided 4 lane. After passing him I noticed that he had LED DRLs. At my next stop I checked mine. No DRLs at all. Looked at my window sticker and it listed that I had them. After searching through the "2019 Ford Ranger Reference Catalog" (sometimes called 'Owner's Manual') I was able to determine that I would have to go back to school to learn what to do. Mine were either 'configurable or non configurable' and some other stuff too. Why so complicated? All the other vehicles I use the DRLs come on when I start the car. Maybe by the same engineer that makes it easier to check my tire pressure from my phone while on the toilet than to dig it out of the dash display! (don't mention the seat belt fastened indicator)

For an XLT, the DRLs turn on when the truck is in gear (if you have them turned on in the dash settings menu), so that makes it hard to see when you're alone. Also, on an XLT the DRLs are just the low beams, no fancy LED strips like the Lariat.

Maybe just install some of these and wire to battery? https://www.harborfreight.com/light...blue-glow-mini-off-road-fog-lights-46908.html
