Try changing the last box to 883C, if not change it back and it is a different code spot on your car.

Not sure if your car is similar
This worked for a 2015 Expedition Limited (fog light indicator disabled). Changed the value from "1" to "0".

It did NOT work on a 2011 MKX. Hope someone can help in this.

So did it work? If yes, what was the thing you did? I'd like to try it also on my MKX, thanks.

"2B7E" is in the 720-01-01 block, but you made me understand your logic behind it, Thanks. So I converted the Hexadecimal "0AE2" (2nd box in 720-01-02 block) to binary, which becomes "0000 1010 1110 0010" made the bit change like you did to "0000 0010 1110 0010" & then converted back to Hexadecimal which is "02E2".

0AE2 : 0000 1010 1110 0010
02E2 : 0000 0010 1110 0010

This successfully disabled the Fog Light indicator even though they still work, as DRL & when manually turned on (but without the green light indicator). Thanks again.

Now on a new project, how to enable the green display indicator for when the headlight/parking lights are on, this feature was added in late 2012 models I believe.
Also another possible mod for 2012 or 2013 & above is to enable the "welcome" swipe of the speedometer when turning the ignition on. It is there on my Instrument Panel, so maybe my ABD would posted in my previous post would help someone.
