I noticed on my 2020 Lariat the LED's on the headlights are only on with the switch. Doesn't this truck have the "cool mode" to turn the LED's on while driving. Is there a FORSCAN change I can make? It seems silly.

Do you have the switch set to AUTO? The DRLS function only with the switch in AUTO and the shifter not in PARK.

No, So AUTO will do just the LEDs? Not the headlights?

Thank You, That would be an easy solution.

In low light conditions, the headlights will come on, and if you have your fog lights set to on, they will also turn on in low light.

I leave my headlights in AUTO all the time and never touch them.
They even turn the high beams on and off automatically.

So do I. The only time I switch the lights to 'On' is when there is light rain but not dark enough to Auto turn on the lights. In my state, it is law that if you have to use the wipers, you have to turn on the headlights. Of course, most people don't, as I often see people driving in heavy rain without headlights on.

Same in my state. I beleive in AUTO the lights also come on if the wipers are turned on. I will have to verify, but thought my headlight indicator in the dash came on with the wipers.
