FORScan taillights and drl

Post by STline2017 »

I'd like to have turned on my taillights when only my DRL is activated. I believe it's called the Scandinavian mode. But I don't know how. Does anyone have a how-to?

My car: Ford Fiesta MK7.5 1.0 Ecoboost ST-line.

Hi!

I've tried doing the same for a really long time and haven't succeeded either. FYI.

Hey I have the same problem!

My dad also wanted the taillights to burn normally with daytime running lights (Mondeo 2015 estate with LED lights).
So I enabled that option and it works but the park / daytime running lights also went really dim! Oncoming cars flash lights, etc.
Is there any other way to turn the taillights on so that the DRL does not dim?

No one knows :shock:
Maybe they will fix with next version.

Until that I revert back to normal DRL.

I have just tried 2.3.44 and also 2.4.3 and same issue - front LED DRL are dimmed. It's bug in Forscan or it's related to software in the car and it's not possible to have full brightness of front DRL when rear lights are on?

I wonder if there is a difference between countries and how the lights work. Using the drop down menu in configuration (DRL with park lights), i added rear lights on Kuga PHEV (LED headlights), Transit Custom, Puma MHEV, Focus 18 (LED headlights) and Fiesta 17 (both LED and halogen). They all have the correct dimmed/full brightness DRL when done.

Tried these, that did not work: Kuga PHEV (Halogen), Mondeo (halogen, but DRL in front bumper. I think full halogen works).
